| Core Tip |
Parental consanguinity remains common in Saudi Arabia and may contribute to the burden of pediatric neurological and developmental disorders. In this retrospective cohort study, children born to consanguineous parents as compared to those born to non-consanguineous ones showed slight discrepancies in the distribution of epilepsy types and developmental disorders; however, there was no clear evidence to support an association between consanguinity and these discrepancies. These findings, nonetheless, should not undermine the link between consanguinity and neurodevelopmental outcomes or the importance of early developmental screening and culturally sensitive genetic counseling in high-consanguinity regions. |
