Amira Rabee Mahdy Soliman;
Abstract
Consanguinity is the blood relationship that exists
among individuals that descend from a common ancestor.
Consanguineous marriage presents all over the world. It is
high in Egypt (35.3%); especially among first cousins. It is
higher in rural areas than in semi-urban and urban areas.
The objective of the current study was to determine
the frequency of consanguine marriage in Kafr Abu
Raqabah, Ashmone Al Minufiyah Governorates and to
identify the frequencies of various birth outcomes and child
health-related problems due to consanguineous marriage in
children e.g. abortion, stillbirths, congenital malformations,
genetic disorders, diseases with autosomal recessive
inheritance, developmental disorders, congenital heart
diseases and hearing problems.
For this purpose survey was done for detection of the
total number of the families with consanguineous marriages
and divided by the total number of families in the village to
calculate the prevalence of consanguineous marriages, The
results revealed that the prevalence of consanguineous
marriages in the studied population was19.02% (175
families out of 920) according to family records
among individuals that descend from a common ancestor.
