"The key finding from multiple studies is that the risk of genetic defects and congenital anomalies is significantly higher in babies born to parents of Pakistani descent compared to the general UK population and other ethnic groups.
(...) Overall Congenital Anomaly Rate: Studies have consistently shown a higher rate. One major study found the risk to be approximately 31% higher in babies of Pakistani origin compared to those of white European origin.
(…) Due to a higher rate of consanguineous marriage (marriage between blood relatives, such as first cousins), the risk of these conditions is greatly increased. British Pakistani children are estimated to have a 10-fold higher risk of recessive genetic disorders compared to the general population."
