| population | Saudi Arabia | “This study was undertaken to determine the association between APOE gene polymorphisms and schizophrenia in the Saudi population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: APOE allele and genotype frequencies were studied in 380 Saudi subjects including schizophrenia patients and matched controls using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse-hybridization techniques.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Association of the genetic variants of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Saudi population. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether rs1801278 and rs2943641 are associated with increased risk of T2DM in the Saudi population. The study included 376 T2DM cases and 380 healthy controls. In conclusion, both the (rs1801278 and rs2943641) polymorphisms are associated with T2DM in the Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “ABCA1 C69T gene polymorphism and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Saudi population. Therefore, we investigated possible association between ABCA1 C69T gene polymorphism and T2DMin a Saudi population. This study was carried out with 380 healthy control subjects and 376 T2DM patients. We observed that the frequency of the T allele of the ABCA1 C69T gene was significantly higher in healthy subjects compared to T2DMpatients (0.28 vs 0.45; p less than 0.0001; OR (95 percent CI) = 0.4624 (0.3732-0.5729), and therefore the T allele may be a protective factor against T2DM in the Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
