| population | Saudi Arabia | “Genome-wide copy number variant screening of Saudi schizophrenia patients reveals larger deletions in cases versus controls. No genome-wide analyses have been performed in Saudi schizophrenia subjects. METHODS: Genome-wide genotyping data from 136 Saudi schizophrenia cases and 97 Saudi controls in addition to 4,625 American were examined for copy number variants (CNVs).” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “The impact of SELP gene Thr715Pro polymorphism on sP-selectin level and association with cardiovascular disease in Saudi diabetic patients: A cross-sectional case-control study. Increased soluble sP-selectin and 715Thr > Pro polymorphism were studied in CVD and T2DM, but association between them hasn't been explored in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional case-control study. sP-selectin level (measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and prevalence of Thr715Pro polymorphism (assessed by Sanger sequencing) were investigated in 136 Saudi participants.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Skeletal and dental manifestations of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, thalassemia, and sickle cell anemia patients in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed at assessing and comparing skeletal and dental manifestations of G6PD deficiency, THL, and SCA patients with healthy controls in Saudi Arabia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of G6PD deficient, THL, and SCA patients' cephalometric records in Saudi Arabia. This study included 136 subjects (G6PD=34, THL=34, SCA=34, and healthy control=34), aged between 18-32 years.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Analysis of the Impact of Common Polymorphisms of the FTO and MC4R Genes with the Risk of Severe Obesity in Saudi Arabian Population. In Saudi Arabia, 28.7% of the population is obese due largely to the adoption of western dietary patterns over the last decade. AIM: To identify novel mutations in the MC4R gene and to perform correlation analyses of the known variants rs9939609 and rs1421085 in the FTO gene and rs17782313 near the MC4R gene in an obese Saudi population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 136 obese patients and 104 healthy controls from King Fahd Hospital, Al-Khobar, were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms within or near the FTO and MC4R genes using the TaqMan assay. These FTO gene polymorphisms combined with a high-fat diet appear to promote early-onset obesity in the Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
