| population | Saudi Arabia | “Variations in TAP1 and PSMB9 Genes Involved in Antigen Processing and Presentation Increase the Risk of Vitiligo in the Saudi Community. METHODS: Samples of genomic DNA from buccal cells of 172 patients with vitiligo and 129 healthy controls were analyzed using TaqMan™ genotyping assays for the TAP1 rs1135216 (A>G) and PSMB9 rs17587 (A>G) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest a crucial role for TAP1 rs1135216 and PSMB9 rs17587 in the risk and progression of vitiligo in the Saudi community.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Genetic association of catechol-O-methyltransferase val(158)met polymorphism in Saudi schizophrenia patients. Saudi subjects including 172 unrelated schizophrenia patients and 177 matched controls were analyzed for allele and genotype distribution of the COMT Val(158)Met polymorphism. These results provide evidence for a role of the COMT Val(158)Met polymorphism in the etiopathophysiology of schizophrenia in Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
