| population | Saudi Arabia | “The Clinical and Mutational Spectrum of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome in Saudi Arabia. This retrospective study investigated the retinal features and genotypes of BBS in Saudi patients managed at a single tertiary eye care center. Data analysis of the identified 46 individuals from 31 families included visual acuity (VA), systemic manifestations, multimodal retinal imaging, electroretinography (ERG), family pedigrees, and genotypes.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “We aimed to define the long-term clinical outcome and genetic characteristics of patients and family members with positive genetic tests for ARVC in a single tertiary care cardiac center in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: We enrolled 46 subjects in the study, including 23 index-patients (probands) with ARVC based on the revised 2010 ARVC Task Force Criteria (TFC) and 23 family members who underwent a genetic test for the ARVC between 2016 and 2020. CONCLUSIONS: ARVC occurs during early adulthood in Saudi patients. The PKP2 gene is the most common gene defect in Saudi patients, consistent with what is observed in other nations.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Screening for testicular adrenal rest tumors among children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia at King Fahad Medical City, Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: TARTs were observed in 5 (10.9%) of 46 male children with CAH.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Therefore, we have done an extensive literature review and found a total number of 46 cases of intra-psoas schwannoma including our case, which are summarized in this article along with reporting our new case. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a very rare case of primary left intra-psoas muscle schwannoma in a 39-year-old Saudi gentleman, smoker with an unremarkable medical and surgical history.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “OBJECTIVES: It remains unknown what degree of risk is conferred by celiac disease (CD)-predisposing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ genotypes in Saudi Arabia compared with in Western countries. METHODS: We enrolled three groups of subjects, including 46 CD children diagnosed consecutively over the past 10 years, 54 CD children diagnosed during a mass screening of schoolchildren, and 192 healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The highest risk of developing CD in our Saudi Arabia population is associated with the DQ2.5/DQ8 genotype.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Sensory processing dysfunction among Saudi children with and without autism. [Purpose] There is a dearth of studies that have examined the occurrence of sensory processing dysfunction and its components in Saudi Arabian children with autism. Therefore, this study investigated the manifestation of sensory processing dysfunction in autism and compared the functional components of sensory processing between Saudi Arabian children with and without autism. [Subjects and Methods] A convenience sample of 46 Saudi Arabian children with autism and 30 children without autism participated in this study. Most of the children without autism (66.66%) demonstrated typical sensory function; the most prevalent sensory processing dysfunctions involved the tactile sensitivity (33.3%), under-responsive/seeks sensation (23.33%), and movement sensitivity (20%) domains. [Conclusion] Saudi Arabian children with and without autism have clinically significant sensory dysfunctions.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Association of the + 45T>G adiponectin gene polymorphism with insulin resistance in non-diabetic Saudi women. However, these associations have not been fully examined in a non-diabetic population in Saudi Arabia. We aimed to investigate the association of 45T>G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the adiponectin gene with total adiponectin levels, insulin resistance (IR), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and other markers of obesity in non-diabetic Saudi females. METHODS: One hundred non diabetic Saudi females were enrolled in this study. Group I, 46 non diabetic subjects with normal body weight and group II, 54 overweight and obese females. SNP +45T>G genotypes were associated with higher FBG, insulin levels and HOMA-IR with lower total adiponectin levels in obese Saudi women. CONCLUSION: SNP +45T>G of adiponectin gene has a significant role in the development of insulin resistance in Saudi women possibly through an interaction with increase body weight and hypoadiponectinemia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “CARD15/NOD2, CD14 and toll-like 4 receptor gene polymorphisms in Saudi patients with Crohn's Disease. There is no information about the frequency of these polymorphisms in the Saudi population. We examined the frequency of the three major CARD15/NOD2 risk alleles (Leu1007fsinsC, Arg702Trp, and Gly908Arg) and the TLR4 (Thr399Il) polymorphism as well as a functional polymorphism in the promoter of the CD14-159C/T in 46 Saudi CD patients and 50 matched controls. This genetic study provides evidence that the three major CARD15/NOD2 variant alleles and the CD14 -159C/T polymorphism are associated with Crohn's disease (CD) susceptibility in the Saudi population; however, there is no evidence that the TLR4 (Thr399Il) or CARD15/NOD2 polymorphisms can be considered risk factors for Crohn's disease.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

| population | Saudi Arabia | “We have assayed deletions in two candidate genes, the survival motor neuron (SMN) and neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) genes, in 108 samples, of which 46 were from SMA patients, and 62 were from unaffected subjects. The SMA patients included 3 from Bahrain, 9 from South Africa, 2 from India, 5 from Oman, 1 from Saudi Arabia, and 26 from Kuwait.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
