🚨 New paper 🚨

Do known genetic factors for obesity affect weight loss from GLP1-RA (Ozempic) or bariatric surgery?

🔍 10,960 people, 9 biobanks, 6 countries
🧬 Minimal genetic impact on GLP1-RA response
📉 Modest effect after surgery

NEW contribution from @QatarGenome Research Consortium. We are pleased to provide the community with novel insight into Inherited Metabolic Disorders from an underrepresented population

Don't miss treatable disorders! Sequencing genes associated with treatable #InheritedMetabolicDiseases in Qatar Biobank sheds light on founder variants, carrier frequencies, and could inform newborn screening policies https://t.co/YXeyGWUc48 @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @Geetha1902

@juansearch @NatureComms Congrats Juan very nice work

[Hamdi Mbarek | حمدي مبارك @drHamdiMbarek]

Nice connecting and meeting you @clopezcorrea @MaximeHebrard looking forward to working together.

From Canada to Qatar and Singapore, it is amazing to see how national initiatives are making a difference in the use and clinical implementation of #genomics

Curious about what role genomes play in our biological makeup?
Let's find out from @drHamdiMbarek, @HBKU.

[Qatar Foundation @QF]

ما هو الجينوم؟ وما الأبحاث التي يشملها علم الجينوم؟
لنكتشف ذلك مع د. حمدي مبارك.

[Front Line Genomics @FLGenomics]

What a great panel on the One World Genomics Initiatives with @AndreaRamirezMD, @robannan and @drHamdiMbarek! Was great to hear about exciting efforts for world-wide data sharing #FOGBoston

[Qatar Foundation @QF]

How do we address the unique #genetic characteristics of the Arab population? Why is diversity important for the advancement of #PrecisionMedicine? 🧬

In this @DNATodayPodcast, listen to @DrSaidIsmail as he unveils the story behind the @QatarGenome, a groundbreaking genome sequencing initiative:

[Hamdi Mbarek | حمدي مبارك @drHamdiMbarek]

@ShihchengGuo @pnatarajanmd Yes we are working on that

[Pradeep Natarajan @pnatarajanmd]

Genetic variation is relatively poorly studied in the Middle East, particularly where endogamy and consanguinity are more common. Among 6K WGS in Qatar, 2 in 3 (!) was a carrier for a pathogenic mutation for an autosomal recessive condition. https://t.co/dIsv8O0uRG @GenomeMedicine

[Genome Medicine @GenomeMedicine]

New research by @younesmokrab, @kfahro and colleagues @SidraMedicine provides novel insights into the burden of Mendelian Disorders in the Qatar Genome Program cohort. This study underlines the need for investigations into biobanks from globally under-represented ancestries.

[Younes Mokrab @younesmokrab]

Excited to share our recent study in @GenomeMedicine on burden of Mendelian disorders in Qatar Biobank, stratifying by various Arab genetic ancestries, relevant to wider Middle East. Great work @QatarGenome @QatarBiobank @drHamdiMbarek @DrSaidIsmail @Aljazi @drmaly @kfakhro

[Front Line Genomics @FLGenomics]

Join us in welcoming Hamdi Mbarek (Scientific and Industry Partnerships Manager, @QatarGenome) to #FOGBoston! Hamdi will be taking part in a panel discussion on One World Genomics. More info: https://t.co/Z2hgdB6Vh1

رغم أننا متطابقون جينيًا بنسبة 99.9% 🧬، إلّا أن 0.1% فقط يجعلنا مختلفين عن بعضنا البعض.
في هذه الحلقة من الصحة بِدقّة، نتعمق في استكشاف هذه الاختلافات في الجينوم البشري، ونناقش أهمية جمع البيانات الجينية لتضييق الفجوة الصحية العالمية.
