The parents; who were either consanguine or no consanguine, came from mixed urban and rural backgrounds.
Socio -demographic and obstetric data were recorded.
Neonatal data were extracted from the medical records of the labor and neonatal care wards.
The incidence of congenital and birth defects was significantly higher for those born to consanguine parents especially for first cousin couples.
The incidence of congenital abnormalities in newborns of all non-consanguineous parents was 7.1% as compared to 23.2 % for newborns of all consanguineous group.
In addition prematurity, history of previous prenatal mortality, and low birth weight were more common in the consanguineous group.
