“…This phenomenon was common in the past (Anderson, 1986;Gough, 1983), but more recently the rates of consanguineous marriages have decreased (Bittels, Masson, Greene, & Rao, 1991). It is still prevalent, however, in many countries in Asia (Bittels, Grant, & Shami, 1993), North Africa, and the Middle East (Driver & Driver, 1988), where rates of such marriages reach 20-50% (Ansari & Sinha, 1978). In those countries consanguineous marriage is usually between first and second cousins with a rate of 20-55%.…”

The present study examined the effect of consanguineous marriage in the Arab community on reading disabilities of offspring. It examined whether the rate of reading disabilities was higher among offspring of first-cousin parents than offspring of unrelated parents; and whether reading-disabled children of first-cousin parents were more disabled in phonological awareness and phonological decoding than reading-disabled children of unrelated parents and normally reading younger children. These questions were investigated among 814 pupils of the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, using word recognition and reading comprehension tests. Two experimental groups were chosen from this population. These were a reading-disabled group of 22 pupils who were children of first-cousin marriages and 21 pupils who were children of unrelated parents. A control group was also selected, consisting of 21 younger normally reading pupils at the same reading level. All the groups were tested on non-words, real words, phonological, orthographic and working memory measures. The results indicated that the rate of reading disabilities among children of first-cousin parents was higher than that of with children of second-cousin parents, distantly related parents, or unrelated parents. Further, no differences were found in phonological awareness and decoding between the two reading-disabled groups. Moreover, the results indicate a significant advantage of the younger normal readers over the reading-disabled children in the measures of phonological awareness, decoding, and orthographical knowledge that requires spelling. However, in reading common words and choosing words in context, the performance of the reading-disabled groups and the normally reading group were similar. It has been suggested that further research is needed to evaluate the role of intelligence, nevertheless our results provide new evidence for a genetic basis to reading disabilities.

For knowledge acquisition and social engagement, reading comprehension is essential. However, 20% or so of younger students have trouble with it. In order to predict the effects of consanguineous marriage on reading handicap and customize adaptive learning experiences, the study proposes an Intelligent Adaptive Learning and Prediction Framework (IALPF). This framework is proposed as a transformative solution that smoothly combines cutting-edge AI approaches. IALPF provides precise predictions and individualized learning pathways by utilizing extensive cognitive profiling, data gathering, and hybrid neural network design. It includes early warning systems, flexible content distribution, and ongoing development based on active learning and feedback loops. The IALPF represents a significant change in education that has wide-ranging effects. We evaluated reading skills among 770 students in a study that included two experimental groups, a control group, and 22 pupils from first-cousin marriages and 21 children of unrelated parents, respectively. Tests were given for word identification and reading comprehension, among other things. The findings showed that children of first cousin parents had a higher chance of reading difficulties than those of parents from other families. The outstanding performance of IALPF, which outperformed conventional techniques like Back Propagation (BP) and General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), was further supported by empirical evaluation. This demonstrates IALPF's success in reinventing personalized learning and predictive analysis, strengthening its potential to improve education in a variety of scenarios. The seamless integration of cutting-edge AI methods into IALPF, which forecasts the effect of consanguineous marriage on reading handicap, is a significant innovation. To set it apart from conventional approaches, this special framework integrates cognitive profile, information gathering, and hybrid neural networks for accurate predictions. The empirical analysis demonstrates the revolutionary potential of IALPF by demonstrating its improved predictive accuracy when compared to Back Propagation (BP) and General Regression Neural Network (GRNN).
