Ashkenazi Genes

Had a long conversation with my rabbi’s wife last week regarding marrying in – don’t need to tell you her thoughts on the matter! Genetic disease in the Ashkenazi lineage isn’t uncommon (to say the least) and I wonder if anyone has experience of relatives marrying out? My mother sequenced her genome last year and was 98.7% Ashkenazi, with genes putting her at risk of a couple of diseases. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.
