Insulin detemir in combination with oral antidiabetic drugs improves glycemic control in persons with type 2 diabetes in Near East countrie

Echtay, Akram; Andari, Emile; Atallah, Paola; Moufarrege, Roland; Nemr, Rita (2019-05-29)

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of insulin detemir treatment as add-on therapy in a real-world setting of Lebanese insulin naïve persons, with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs ...
A replication study of 19 GWAS-validated type 2 diabetes at-risk variants in the Lebanese population

Almawi, Wassim Y.; Nemr, Rita; Keleshian, Sose H.; Echtay, Akram; Saldanha, Fabiola Lisa; AlDoseri, Fatima A.; Racoubian, Eddie (2019-05-29)

Aim Recent genome-wide association scans (GWAS) and replication studies have expanded the list of validated type 2 diabetes (T2DM) susceptibility loci. We replicated T2DM association of 19 SNPs from 15 candidate loci in ...
Replication study of common variants in CDKAL1 and CDKN2A/2B genes associated with type 2 diabetes in Lebanese Arab population

Nemr, Rita; Almawi, Ahmad W.; Echtay, Akram; Sater, Mai S.; Daher, Hoda S.; Almawi, Wassim Y. (2019-05-29)

We investigated the association of CDKAL1 (rs7754840 and rs7756992) and CDKN2A/2B (rs10811661) variants with T2DM. Higher MAF of rs7754840 and rs7756992 were seen in patients, and both were associated with T2DM under ...
Strong association of common variants in the IGF2BP2 gene with type 2 diabetes in Lebanese Arabs

Nemr, Rita; Echtay, Akram; Dashti, Eman A.; Almawi, Ahmad W.; Al-Busaidi, Asya S.; Kelestian, Sose H.; Irani-Hakime, Noha; Almawi, Wassim Y. (2019-05-29)

Objective Several genome-wide association studies and replication analyses have identified common variation at the insulin-like binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) gene to be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The aim of ...
Transcription factor-7-like 2 gene variants are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes in Lebanese subjects

Nemr, Rita; Turki, Amira; Echtay, Akram; Al-Zaben, Ghadeer S.; Daher, Hoda S.; Irani-Hakime, Nora A.; Kelestian, Sose H.; Almawi, Wassim Y. (2019-05-29)

We tested the association of TCF7L2 variants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in 691 Lebanese people and 919 controls. rs7901695, rs4506565, rs7903146, rs12243326, rs7895340, and rs12255372 minor allele frequencies were higher ...
