Cerebral palsy- one of the causes is in-cest! From WebMD:

Inbreeding can increase the risk of autosomal recessive symmetrical spastic cerebral palsy. This is because genetic forms of the disease are more common in populations with extensive inbreeding.

Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain that controls movement, and the exact cause is often unknown. However, some risk factors include:

Preterm delivery
Multiple fetuses
Atypical intrauterine growth
Intrauterine exposure to infection
Placental pathology
Congenital malformations
Birth asphyxia
Perinatal infection
Perinatal stroke

Cerebral palsy can also be caused by physical abuse or other injuries after birth. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but treatments can help improve function.

If you have a loved one with a disability, you can take steps to prevent abuse by:

Checking in regularly with caregivers and anyone who spends time alone with the person

Visiting often if the person lives in a residential facility
Not putting complete trust in one person
