Your understanding of genetics is elementary to the extreme.
When the sperm and egg chromosomes first meet they line themselves up and twist around to swap genes from one to the other. So you may inherit your chromosome 24 from your grandfather, but small parts of it would be from your grandmother. They call this crossing over.
When you have high consanguinity (relatedness) it confuses the process and things have a hard time lining up properly and you end up with a much higher chance of duplicating genes and missing genes from your chromosomes.
We know from extensive animal husbandry that some interbreeding is actually beneficial, but never with someone with more than 25% consanguinity, and even then it should be more like a once in every 6 generations sort of thing. For a 12.5% consanguinity it would be best not to have that inbreeding more than once every 3 generations or so.
