Wow, One Scientist found one family in Pakistan that suffers from Rare disease, so obviously cousin marriages in Pakistan is the problem,
RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets see if this is true ?
A rare disease is defined by the European Union as one that affects less than 5 in 10,000 of the general population. There are between 6,000 and 8,000 known rare diseases and around five new rare diseases are described in medical literature each week.
1 in 17 people, or 7% of the population, will be affected by a rare disease at some point in their lives. This equates to approximately 3.5 million people in the UK and 30 million people across Europe.
75% of rare diseases affect children. Rare diseases include rare cancers such as childhood cancers and some other well known conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease.
Question to the scientist or (Unknown unnamed) researchers of Europe and Singapore, how people are suffering from rare diseases all over the world? are you saying all these cases involve cousin marriages?
