| population | Saudi Arabia | “Genetic association between vitamin D receptor gene and Saudi patients confirmed with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. The relation with vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is well documented in the Saudi Arabia. AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of molecular analysis studied between FH patients and fours polymorphisms associated with VDR gene in Saudi Population. METHODS: In this case-control study, 120 patients were selected, and 50 patients were confirmed as FH and 70 subjects were confirmed as healthy controls. CONCLUSION: ApaI and BsmI polymorphisms in the VDR gene showed association with FH patients in the Saudi Population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase iNOS-954-G>C and Ex16+14-C>T Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Vitiligo in the Saudi Population. The present study aimed to investigate the possible association of inducible nitric oxide synthase polymorphisms iNOS-954-G/C (rs1800482 G>C) and iNOS-Ex16+14-C/T (rs2297518 C>T) with vitiligo in the Saudi population, if any. METHODS: We included 120 vitiligo cases and an equal number of age matched healthy controls.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

| population | Saudi Arabia | “Study included 120 caregivers of children with CHD visiting the Paediatric Cardiology Clinic that included 93% mothers, aged 31.72 ± 6.67 years, 38.3% Saudi citizens and 45.0% had a high educational level.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Variants in MEF2A gene in relation with coronary artery disease in Saudi population. This study investigated the association of variants in myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) gene with coronary artery disease (CAD) via case control study on Saudi population. The entire (exon 11 putative susceptibility exon) of MEF2A gene was sequenced using direct DNA sequencing method in 120 sporadic patients and 100 controls. None of Saudi subjects (normal as well as diseased) showed 21-bp deletion as reported previously for other populations. We report that MEF2A gene based on SNP rs325400 (G1323T) can be considered as a susceptibility factor for CAD and presence of T allele makes Saudis at more risk to CAD, while other variants detected in this gene do not have any association in Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “ACE I/D and eNOS E298D gene polymorphisms in Saudi subjects with hypertension. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Participants included 120 Saudi patients with hypertension and 250 normal healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: There is increased frequency of ACE and eNOS mutant allele carriage among Saudi patients affected with hypertension, particularly if accompanied by obesity and diabetes.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Association study between the dopamine-related candidate gene polymorphisms and ADHD among Saudi Arabia population via PCR technique. In Saudi Arabia the prevalence of combined ADHD is 16.4 %. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association between ADHD and polymorphisms of MAOA 30 bp-promoter VNTR and DAT1 40 bp 3' UTRVNTR in Saudi population. PCR technique was employed to detect polymorphisms of MAOA and DAT1 genes in a sample of 120 ADHD subjects and 160 controls. These findings support the hypothesis that some of the MAOA and DAT1 polymorphisms have a causative role in the development of ADHD in the Saudi population. This is the first report investigated the association between MAOA and DAT1 polymorphism at molecular level in Saudi Arabia population as well as Arab world. Therefore further studies are needed to generalize obtained results at Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
