Why is one child inbred, but their siblings aren't?

[[Dougname Here]]

Glitch right? Married son to my neice and the only inbred child is my future heir now so wtf happened here? Also hes the heir to the Byzantine empire so im hoping him being retarded doesn't cause revolts, I started as Bavaria so I really wanna keep Byzantine and make Rome great again.

Ok nevermind about being worried about his problems, just died at 10. But still that was a glitch right?

Nope, not a glitch. Genetics are random, and CK2 reflects that. For example, I'm pretty sure it's possible that you'll just randomly get one of the cogenital traits from nowhere, but don't bet on it.

As said before, it's semi-random.
While in some mods (Like the Game of Thrones mod) this is changed, or there is another trait/etc introduced to flag ALL children of incest, the "inbred trait" is only meant to show up on children who are actually suffering the negative effects of inbreeding.

Historically, most royal families were involved in it to some degree, but there's only a couple noteworthy examples of someone ending up with adverse effects (you may have heard of such from Spain, and I think it may have had something to do with George III's famous madness, though I'm not sure on that).

...what?

[Peeping Tom]

Charles II of Spain is the name to look for. He was the offspring of a marriage between uncle and niece. Google him to see how your future heir could have looked like.
As byzantine you can castrate someone to push him out of the line of succession if you got more of this kind

No, he just had alot of diseases, was naive af, and was sterile.

[hurepoix]

close to the subject but more strange ; (true) twins rarely look like each other when adult, have not same basic stats, and one can have, for exemple, ugly trait and the other strong trait.

Differences between brothers and sisters is normal, on could look like his father, the other his grandmother, so one inbred and the others not is not something surprizing.

Genetics aren't passed down straight; they're scrambled up a bit in meiosis (I think that's the stage, at least), so you even though and your brother both get half your genes from your dad, what you got is different from what he got. So even if your son and niece both carry a defective gene, odds are good that one of them has a healthy copy to pass on to their offspring.

Of course, if you keep recursively inbreeding for a few generations all bets are off.

Perhaps the inbred children are wont to start threads entitled,

"Thanks Paradox but the time for us to part has arrived."

Inbreeding. --> Idiocracy in 500yrs or less. Beware.
