There wont be any. There's many who think being cousins will make you have birth defects but this is not the case. The research show that the risk to get a child with birth defects if you are first cousins is just as small as if you were not related at all. So for second cousins there is no risk. The families where marrying cousins is common and the kids do have birth defects is families who have practiced cousin marriage for generations. Not enough new DNA.
