Genetic epidemiology of ovarian cancer in the 22 Arab countries: A systematic review.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
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 ...
Bioinformatics classification of mutations in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA
(
Springer US
, 2019 , Article)
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IIIA, also known as Sanfilippo syndrome type A, is a severe, progressive disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). MPS IIIA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is ...
Enhanced production of anthraquinones by gamma-irradiated cell cultures of Rubia cordifolia in a bioreactor
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of this study was to obtain high-yielding cell cultures of Rubia cordifolia by applying gamma irradiation and subsequently scaling up for anthraquinone production in a bioreactor. Calli cultured on MS medium was ...
Identification of potential inhibitors against pathogenic missense mutations of PMM2 using a structure-based virtual screening approach.
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2019 , Article)
The autosomal recessive phosphomannomutase 2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG) is characterized by defective functioning of the PMM2 enzyme, which is necessary for the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate into ...
Elucidating the role of interacting residues of the MSH2-MSH6 complex in DNA repair mechanism: A computational approach.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The DNA repair system is crucial to repair the error resulting in DNA replication. MSH2-MSH6 protein complex plays a significant role in maintaining the mismatch repair mechanism. Mutations in the interface between the two ...

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. ...
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, ...
