Genetics of structural and functional brain changes in autism spectrum disorder.
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article Review)Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder characterized by social impairment and restricted interactive and communicative behaviors. It may occur as an isolated disorder or in the context ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies several loci for HEV seropositivity
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Hepatitis E viral (HEV) infection imposes a heavy global health burden. The variability in the prevalence of serological markers of HEV infection between different ethnic groups proposes a host genetic influence. Here, we ... -
Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals a Novel Association Between MYBPC3 Gene Polymorphism, Endurance Athlete Status, Aerobic Capacity and Steroid Metabolism.
( Frontiers Media , 2020 , Article)The genetic predisposition to elite athletic performance has been a controversial subject due to the underpowered studies and the small effect size of identified genetic variants. The aims of this study were to investigate ... -
Genomic Characterization and Annotation of Two Novel Bacteriophages Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Qatar
