| population | Saudi Arabia | “The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between the SNP rs17576 in MMP-9 gene with (1) the risk and severity of acute ischemic stroke in Saudi Arab individuals with recent acute coronary syndrome, and (2) the risk of acute coronary syndrome in Saudi Arab individuals without ischemic stroke. METHODS: A case control study of 200 IS patients, 520 ACS patients (without IS), and 500 aged-matched healthy controls were genotyped to detect the MMP-9 polymorphism rs17156.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “The increasing prevalence of MRSA in Saudi Arabia emphasizes the need for effective management. Nasal swabs from 200 individuals were collected, and standard protocols were used for the isolation, identification, and characterization of CoPS and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Further research is necessary to explore additional virulence-associated genes and develop comprehensive approaches for CoPS infection prevention and treatment in Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Protein structural insights into a rare PCSK9 gain-of-function variant (R496W) causing familial hypercholesterolemia in a Saudi family: whole exome sequencing and computational analysis. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the genetic basis of FH in a Saudi family using whole exome sequencing (WES) and multidimensional bioinformatic analysis. This variant was absent in healthy relatives of the proband and 200 healthy normolipidemic controls from Saudi Arabia. This rare PCSK9 (R496W) variant is likely to expand our understanding of the genetic basis of FH in Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Genotype 4 is the most prevalent genotype in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, followed by genotype 1. Because real-world data from Saudi Arabia about the efficacy of DAAs are still limited, this study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of DAAs in treating patients with chronic hepatitis C and to identify the variables related to a sustained virologic response (SVR) in a real-world setting in Saudi Arabia. This prospective cohort study included 200 Saudi patients with chronic HCV who were 18 years of age or older and had been treated with DAAs at King Abdul-Aziz Specialized Hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia, between September 2018 and March 2021.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

| population | Saudi Arabia | “Significant differences in FcγRIIa, FcγRIIIa and FcγRIIIb genes polymorphism and anti-malarial IgG subclass pattern are associated with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Saudi children. This study aimed to investigate the possible correlation between FcγR (IIa, IIIa, and IIIb) genes polymorphism and the clinical outcome for anti-malarial antibody response of Plasmodium falciparum infection among Saudi children. METHODS: A total of 600 volunteers were enrolled in this study, including 200 malaria-free control (MFC) subjects, 218 patients with uncomplicated malaria (UM) and 182 patients with severe malaria (SM). The impact of the FcyR (IIa, IIIa and IIIb) gene variants and anti-malaria IgG subclasses play an important role in susceptibility to malaria infection and disease outcome in Saudi children.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “METHODS: International online survey of neurologists/mental health professionals from Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Italy, France, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, and Russia.

| population | Saudi Arabia | “Population genetic data for 12 X-STR loci in the Central Saudi region using investigator Argus X-12 amplification kit. SUBJECT AND METHODS: In the current study, the distribution of 12 X-STR loci located in four linkage groups was evaluated using Investigator® Argus X-12 Amplification Kit in 200 unrelated healthy individuals (105 males and 95 females) from the central region of Saudi Arabia in order to develop an allelic frequency database for the markers included in the kit. The pairwise genetic distance fixation index (Fst) results showed that the Saudi population is genetically closer to the Egyptian and Emirati populations and distant to the Turkish population. CONCLUSION: The current study revealed that Investigator® Argus 12 X-STR kit would support the forensic application, kinship testing involving female offspring, and human identification in the Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Next Generation Sequencing Based Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): First Report From Saudi Arabia. Background: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for aneuploidy in pregnant women screening has been recently established in Saudi Arabia. Results: Out of the 200 NIPT cases, the average age of pregnant women was 35 ± 6 years (range: 21-48 years). Conclusion: This is the first study reporting the successful implementation of an in-house NIPT screening service in Saudi Arabia. Our data showed high accuracy and sensitivity to detect high-risk cases indicating the usefulness of such a technique as an alternative to invasive testing and (hopefully) will change the common screening practice for pregnant women in Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

The aim of the present study was to assess certain exons in the LDLR gene mutation detection analysis affecting in the Saudi population with FH. This case-control study was carried out with 200 subjects; 100 were FH cases and 100 were healthy controls. We conclude that screening of FH among Saudi population is very important to identify individuals who are prone to develop the disease.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Genetic polymorphisms in paraoxonase 1 and G protein-coupled receptor 77, and the risk of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a Saudi population. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the role of amino acid substitution variants Q192R and C698T in the development of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in a Saudi male population. METHODS: This case-control study was carried out in 200 Saudi male individuals: 100 patients with G6PD deficiency, and 100 control subjects collected between July and August 2011 in the Taif region of Saudi Arabia. A total of 2100 male Saudi individuals were screened by a fluorescence spot test, and 100 with G6PD deficiency were selected. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest the association of PON1 with G6PD deficiency in the Saudi male population studied herein.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Current studies on human papillomavirus in Saudi Arabia. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 561,200 new cancer cases (5.2% of all new cancers) are attributed to HPV infection. Data on the prevalence of HPV, survival of infected patients, and mortality rate are scarce in Saudi Arabia. The unsubstantiated assumption of a low prevalence of HPV in Saudi Arabia has contributed to limiting HPV research in this conservative country. Therefore, the goal of this review is to shed light on the current HPV research being conducted and the prevalence of HPV in Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Based on the previously reported association between the STK11 gene and diabetes, we aimed to investigate whether the rs8111699 polymorphism in STK11 has any role in gestation diabetes in Saudi women. In this case-control study, we recruited pregnant Saudi women based on biochemical analysis of their blood samples. Genomic DNA was obtained from confirmed subjects (200 GDM cases and 300 non-GDM). Our study suggests that the rs8111699 polymorphism has no role in the development of GDM in pregnant Saudi women.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Relationship between the paraoxonase 1 gene glutamine 192 to arginine polymorphism and gestational diabetes mellitus in Saudi women. Previous studies in a Saudi population indicated a high frequency of Paraoxonase 1 glutamine 192 to arginine (PON1 Q192R) polymorphism, suggesting this polymorphism as an additional risk factor. The present study was designed to explore the possible association between the PON1 Q192R polymorphism and GDM in a Saudi population. METHODS: This case-control study was carried out in 500 pregnant women, including 200 GDM cases and 300 non-GDM women. RESULTS: The results of the present study indicates that Q192R polymorphism was significantly associated with GDM in a Saudi population with the minor allele frequency (MAF) (p=0.0007). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, these findings suggest that the PON1 Q192R polymorphism has high MAF in GDM in the studied Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
