(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2017 , Article)
Larsen syndrome (LRS) is a rare genetic disease associated with variable manifestations including skeletal malformations, dislocations of the large joints, and notable changes in facial and limb features. Genetic variants ...
Impact of missense mutations in survival motor neuron protein (SMN1) leading to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA): A computational approach.
(
Springer US
, 2018 , Article)
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by the mutations in survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1). The molecular pathology of missense mutations in SMN1 is not thoroughly investigated so far. Therefore, ...
Severe neurological manifestations in an Egyptian patient with a novel frameshift mutation in the Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase gene
(
Springer US
, 2016 , Article)
Abstract To characterize an Egyptian patient with glutaric
acidemia type I (GA I) and to identify the causative mutation(
s) that may be responsible for the disease phenotype.
MRI was performed on the patient using the ...
Computational approach to unravel the impact of missense mutations of proteins (D2HGDH and IDH2) causing D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria 2.
(
Springer US
, 2018 , Article)
The 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (2-HGA) is a rare neurometabolic disorder that leads to the development of brain damage. It is classified into three categories: D-2-HGA, L-2-HGA, and combined D,L-2-HGA. The D-2-HGA includes ...
Clinical Exome Sequencing unravels new disease-causing mutations in the myeloproliferative neoplasms: A pilot study in patients from the state of Qatar.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Clinical Exome Sequencing (CES) has increasingly become a popular diagnostic tool in patients suffering from genetic disorders that are clinically and genetically complicated. Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) is an ...
Molecular dynamics-based analyses of the structural instability and secondary structure of the fibrinogen gamma chain protein with the D356V mutation.
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
Mutations in the fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) gene have been associated with various disorders, such as dysfibrinogenemia, thrombophilia, and hypofibrinogenemia. A literature survey showed that a residue exchange in ...
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 ...
Canavan disease: an Arab scenario.
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The autosomal recessive Canavan disease (CD) is a neurological disorder that begins in infancy. CD is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the ASPA enzyme. It has been reported with high frequency in patients with ...

(
Current Medicine Group
, 2016 , Article)
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disorder that results from the T cell-mediated destruction of the pancreatic β cells and is due to interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Although Arabs have ...
Enhanced Identification of Transcriptional Enhancers Provides Mechanistic Insights into Diseases.
(
Cell Press
, 2016 , Article)
Enhancers are distal cis-regulatory DNA elements that increase the expression of target genes. Various experimental and computational approaches including chromatin signature profiling have been developed to predict enhancers ...
