(
Taylor & Francis
, 2020 , Article)
Bladder cancer is the second most common genitourinary tract cancer and is often recurrent and/or chemoresistant after tumor resection. Cigarette smoking, exposure to aromatic amines, and chronic infection/inflammation are ...
Molecular dynamics simulations to decipher the structural and functional consequences of pathogenic missense mutations in the galactosylceramidase (GALC) protein causing Krabbe's disease.
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2020 , Article)
Krabbe disease (KD), also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy disease, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage genetic disorder, which is caused by the deficiecncy of galactocerebrosidase (GALC) coding gene (). This ...
Krabbe Disease in the Arab World
(
IOS Press
, 2015 , Article)
The autosomal recessive inherited Krabbe disease (KD) is a devastating pediatric lysosomal storage disorder affecting white matter of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the gene coding for the lysosomal enzyme ...

(
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 ...
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 ...

MRI was performed on the patient using the ...
The Arab genome: Health and wealth
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The 22 Arab nations have a unique genetic structure, which reflects both conserved and diverse gene pools due to the prevalent endogamous and consanguineous marriage culture and the long history of admixture among different ...
Computational modelling approaches as a potential platform to understand the molecular genetics association between Parkinson's and Gaucher diseases.
(
Springer
, 2018 , Article)
Gaucher's disease (GD) is a genetic disorder in which glucocerebroside accumulates in cells and specific organs. It is broadly classified into type I, type II and type III. Patients with GD are at high risk of Parkinson's ...
