Conception, Implementation, and Integration of Heterogenous Information Technology Infrastructures in the Qatar Biobank
( Mary Ann Liebert , 2019 , Article)The overall goal of the Qatar Biobank (QBB) is to collect, manage, and distribute high-quality human biospecimens with appropriate clinical and/or research annotation and associated phenotypic data, aiming to be an important ... -
Correlations between Resting Electrocardiogram Findings and Disease Profiles: Insights from the Qatar Biobank Cohort
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2024 , Article)Background: Resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool used in clinical medicine to assess the electrical activity of the heart while the patient is resting. Abnormalities in ECG may be ... -
Dysbiosis of the Salivary Microbiome is Associated with Hypertension and Correlated with Metabolic Syndrome Biomarkers
( Dovepress , 2021 , Article)Background: Hypertension (HT) is an idiopathic disease with severe complications and a high incidence of global mortality. Although the disease shares characteristic features with diabetes and obesity, the complex interplay ... -

The Spectrum of Genetic Variants Associated with the Development of Monogenic Obesity in Qatar
( S. Karger AG , 2022 , Article)Introduction: Monogenic obesity (MO) is a rare genetic disease characterized by severe early-onset obesity in affected individuals. Previous genetic studies revealed 8 definitive genes for monogenic non-syndromic obesity; ... -
A Whole-Genome Sequencing Association Study of Low Bone Mineral Density Identifies New Susceptibility Loci in the Phase I Qatar Biobank Cohort.
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Bone density disorders are characterized by a reduction in bone mass density and strength, which lead to an increase in the susceptibility to sudden and unexpected fractures. Despite the serious consequences of low bone ... -
Whole-Genome Sequencing of 100 Genomes Identifies a Distinctive Genetic Susceptibility Profile of Qatari Patients with Hypertension
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Essential hypertension (EH) is a leading risk condition for cardiovascular and renal com-plications. While multiple genes are associated with EH, little is known about its genetic etiology. Therefore, this study aimed to ...
