it is v difficult to give you a number but yes consangunous marriages do lead to higher chances of anomalies compared to nonconsangunous ones . If you do plan to marry there r many tests that can be done to know whether the baby has any chromosomal anomalies in the first 3 months itself so that proper management can be done .
