Pre Marital Testing

Question

I\'m getting married by the end of this year,
the girl I\'m getting married to is not from
my family. now the problem is that both
of her brothers are disabled and mentally
abnormal. Someone from my family told
us that if I get married to that girl, there
are strong chances that our kids will be
abnormal as well. I\'m a bit worried about it.
What should I do? are there any chances?
also, besides this what are some tests
that we both (my partner &amp;amp; l) should
perform? like thalassemia, fertility test
etc. TIA
