| population | Saudi Arabia | “Rare and novel genetic variants in sporadic and familial Alzheimer's disease: insights from the first Saudi cohort. However, we still know very little about the genetic makeup of AD in Saudi Arabia and other Arab populations. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to explore rare variants that are predicted to be deleterious in a group of 64 Saudi patients diagnosed with sporadic and familial Alzheimer's disease (AD).” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Association of Polymorphisms in Antioxidant Enzyme-Encoding Genes with Diabetic Nephropathy in a Group of Saudi Arabian Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in antioxidant enzyme-encoding genes: catalase (CAT); manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD); glutathione S transferase M1 (GSTM1); and GSTT1 glutathione S transferase T1 (GSTT1), and the risk of type II diabetic nephropathy (DN) in the Saudi population. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The present study involved 64 type II DM patients with nephropathy and 64 type II diabetes patients without nephropathy from the King Abdulaziz University (KAU) Hospital. CONCLUSION: Our results showed that the genetic ability to combat oxidative stress may play a major role in DN pathogenesis in Saudi type II DM patients.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “The Phylogeography of MERS-CoV in Hospital Outbreak-Associated Cases Compared to Sporadic Cases in Saudi Arabia. This study compared the phylogeography of MERS-CoV between hospital outbreak-associated cases and sporadic cases in Saudi Arabia. We collected complete genome sequences from human samples in Saudi Arabia and data on the multiple risk factors of human MERS-CoV in Saudi Arabia reported from 2012 to 2018. Of the 120 sequences collected between 19 June 2012 and 23 January 2017, there were 64 isolates from hospital outbreak-associated cases and 56 from sporadic cases.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “METHODS: The study included 64 new and unrelated cases of primary congenital glaucoma from different ethnic groups of India. The frequency of CYP1B1 mutations was comparatively lower than Saudi Arabian, Slovakian Gypsys, and Turkish populations, largely due to genetic heterogeneity and ethnic diversities in Indian populations.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
