"When siblings have children, there is a 50% chance that the child will be disabled"Has the ring of a hyped-up scare about it, and putting a figure on something unquantifiable.
There is an increased chance of recessive genes matching ... something to do with alleles ... but recessive genes aren't necessarily harmful, and the risks involved in siblings breeding are smaller in the first generation.
