Actually, I've been worrying about this exact thing just recently...(highlight below to read, trigger warnings for incest and possibly insensitivity about disability)

Write it but don't make it trite. I almost always find that if you're serious enough about something most people will "get" it.

Also I would be blown away if someone actually presented a fan theory in that context. That's putting a lot of god damn thought and analysis into something.

As far as I know, disability as a result of one-off incest is actually quite rare. It's only common when there's generations of close intermarrying (eg European royal families in the past, or other royal dynasties where brothers married sisters for hundreds of years, eg in ancient Egypt).

I'm disabled and wouldn't find your idea terrible, as long as

a) The disability wasn't presented as a kind of punishment or divine retribution from God (and that characters who say anything of the sort in your story were clearly presented as nutcakes). This is a common comment that disabled people get all the time, even from people who seem quite rational and intelligent. Honestly, you wouldn't believe it. It's so staggeringly offensive.

b) It was clearly stated that incest-based disability is actually quite rare, and so it was just a very rare combination of bad luck that it happened.

"well, if her condition is genetic, then maybe he was a carrier and since she's his daughter

I do think a family being carriers of a particular condition makes for a valid exception for why one-off incest would cause a disability and/or illness. If it could be played more on that being the cause, and the incest is why two carriers came together, it could be done the way you say.
