Dear Xcodesa,
Sure, but please explain what you're looking for. The genetic issues? A specific situation you're in? Something else?
I can best help if you' ll give me a direction and the best information you can about your concerns.
Sincerely,
Dr. P.

Dear Xcodesa,
The probability of birth defects with cousins of some distance is relatively low. However, you should examine the specific situation, do some reading about the issue (there's a lot on this all over the internet) and perhaps take the issue to someone well versed in genetics. For example, try the most relevant expert forums of Medhelp. Unfortunately, genetics is not my area of professional expertise.
Sincerely,
Dr. P.
