Genetic polymorphisms associated with type 2 diabetes in the Arab world: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
T2DM reach epidemic levels in the Arab countries. In this study, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to underline the susceptibility genetic profile of Arab patients with T2DM that result from SNPs. ...
In silico and in vivo models for Qatari-Specific classical homocystinuria as basis for development of novel therapies.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Homocystinuria is a rare inborn error of methionine metabolism caused by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency. The prevalence of homocystinuria in Qatar is 1:1,800 births, mainly due to a founder Qatari missense ...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common disease among Arabs, with one of the highest incidences in the world. OC is underdiagnosed, underreported, and mostly reported with breast cancer. This study aimed to conduct a systematic ...
Nasopharyngeal Expression of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 and Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 in Children within SARS-CoV-2-Infected Family Clusters.
(
American Society for Microbiology
, 2021 , Article)
Lower levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) in the nasal epithelium of children may be related to a lower incidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ...
An extensive computational approach to analyze and characterize the functional mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) protein responsible for classical galactosemia
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Type I galactosemia is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic metabolic disorder that occurs because of the mutations present in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene, resulting in a deficiency of the ...
Deciphering the Role of Filamin B Calponin-Homology Domain in Causing the Larsen Syndrome, Boomerang Dysplasia, and Atelosteogenesis Type I Spectrum Disorders via a Computational Approach.
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Filamins (FLN) are a family of actin-binding proteins involved in regulating the cytoskeleton and signaling phenomenon by developing a network with F-actin and FLN-binding partners. The FLN family comprises three conserved ...

Frontiers Media
, 2018 , Article Review)
Chronic hypertension remains a major cause of global mortality and morbidity. It is a complex disease that is the clinical manifestation of multiple genetic, environmental, nutritional, hormonal, and aging-related disorders. ...
Evolving strategies and application of proteins and peptide therapeutics in cancer treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Several proteins and peptides have therapeutic potential and can be used for cancer therapy. By binding to cell surface receptors and other indicators uniquely linked with or overexpressed on tumors compared to healthy ...

Sanguinarine (SNG), a natural compound with an array of pharmacological activities, has promising therapeutic potential against a number of pathological conditions, including malignancies. This research aimed to investigate ...
Implications and theragnostic potentials of circular RNAs in rheumatic diseases
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), are highly stable and ubiquitous molecules that exhibit tissue-specific expression. Accumulating evidence has shown that aberrant expression of circRNAs can ...
