Abstract

Background and objective : There are common genetic diseases in Hail,but the information about it are still limited.The objective of this cross-sectional study was to detect the most common genetic disease and the risk factor of consanguinity on genetic diseases in Hail. Subjects and methods : The study samples were determined by multistage probability random sampling procedure. Genetic diseases were obtained from 500 papers and electronic questionnaires. The data were analyzed by using SPSS and calculator. Results: The proportions of genetic diseases were ordered from highest to lowest as follow: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus(20%), Congenital Heart Disease(9%), breast cancer(8.2%), Down syndrome (6.4%),Sickle cell disease(3.8%), Muscular Dystrophy (1.8%) and Thalassemia (1%).However, 49.6% of sample answered the question were consanguineous. The proportions showed Thalassemia was the highest disease affected by consanguinity relationship with (100%, p= 0.023
