London borough finds one in five child deaths caused by parents being related
Children of consanguineous couples accounted for 19 per cent of child death cases in Redbridge between 2008 and 2016, report shows
One in five child deaths in an east London borough have occurred because the mother and father are related, a report has found.
Redbridge Council found deaths of children from parents who were known consanguineous couples – meaning second cousins or more closely related – accounted for 19 per cent of 124 cases reviewed in the borough between 2008 and 2016.
“Chromosomal, genetic and congenital abnormalities”, which are known to occur in offspring of interfamily relationships due to a heightened risk of certain genetic disorders, were identified as the causes of the deaths in a report by the borough's Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP).

"consanguineous" - what a lovely word for it.

that's just a general table of relationships, not a table of NOPE.
Your nope-ness should kick in on anything second-cousin or closer.
It's a big issue in places like Tunisia and South India where there are a lot of Uncle-Niece marriages of first-cousin once removed. And due to the fact that many of those people have consanguineous marriages in their own ancestry, the actal DNA mix is even closer.
