My suspicion is that occasional cousin weddings aren’t very dangerous, but if there’s a pattern over several generations, it’s another story. The hemophilia of the royal families of Europe demonstrates this.
The type of hemophilia that occured in decendents of Queen Victoria is a recessive X-linked genetic disorder and has nothing to do with cousins marrying.
