Differential contribution of MTHFR C677T variant to the risk of diabetic nephropathy in Lebanese and Bahraini Arabs

Nemr, Rita; Salman, Rabha A.; Jawad, Lamees H.; Juma, Eman A,.; Keleshian, Sose H.; Almawi, Wassim Y. (2019-05-29)

Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene variants and hyperhomocysteinemia have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in various ethnic groups. We investigated the association ...
Genetic and environmental influences on total plasma homocysteine and its role in coronary artery disease risk

Milane, Aline; Platt, Daniel E.; Ghassibe-Sabbagh, Michella; Youhanna, Sonia; Abchee, Antoine B.; Haber, Marc; Badro, Danielle A.; Salloum, Angelique K.; Douayhi, Bouchra; Nemr, Rita; Cazier, Jean-Baptiste; Zalloua, Pierre A. (2016-10-05)

Background Elevated levels of total plasma homocysteine are a risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. Aims The rationale behind this study is to explore the correlation between degree and site of coronary lesion ...
Influence of common and specific HLA-DRB1/DQB1 haplotypes on genetic susceptibilities of three distinct Arab populations to type 1 diabetes

Stayoussef, Mouna; Benmansour, Jihen; Al-Jenaidi, Fayza A.; Nemr, Rita; Ali, Muhallab E.; Mahjoub, Touhami; Almawi, Wassim Y. (2019-05-29)

The contribution of HLA DRB-DQB to type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Bahrainis, Lebanese, and Tunisians was investigated. DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201 was a locus that conferred susceptibility in three populations, while DRB1*040101-DQB1*0302 ...
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 ...
Multivariate epidemiologic analysis of type 2 diabetes mellitus risks in the Lebanese population

Ghassibe-Sabbagh, Michella; Deeb, Mary; Saloum, Angelique K.; Hirbli, Kamal; Ahdab, Rechdi; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Nemr, Rita; Mouzaya, Francis; Chami, Youssef; Akle, Yasmine; Platt, Daniel E. (2016-06-14)

Background: The burden of diabetes in Lebanon requires well-targeted interventions for screening type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes and prevention of risk factors. Newly recruited 998 Lebanese individuals, ...
Pheochromocytoma presenting as partial HELLP syndrome

Daaboul, Yazan; Korjian, Serge; Khalil, Lamis; Nemr, Rita (2019-05-29)

Diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in partial HELLP syndrome is extremely rare. We report a case of a 25-year-old multigravida woman at 30 weeks of gestation who presented with clinical features consistent with partial HELLP ...
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 ...
Risk of new-onset diabetes and cardiovascular risk reduction from high-dose statin therapy in pre-diabetics and non–pre-diabetics

Kohli, Payal; Waters, David D.; Nemr, Rita; Arsenault, Benoit J.; Messig, Michael; DeMicco, David A.; Laskey, Rachel; Kastelein, John J.P. (2019-05-29)
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 ...
Type II diabetes mellitus and hyperhomocysteinemia

Platt, Daniel E.; Hariri, Essa; Salameh, Pascale; Merhi, Mahmoud; Sabbah, Nada; Helou, Mariana; Mouzaya, Francis; Nemr, Rita; Al-Sarraj, Yasser; El-Shanti, Hatem; Abchee, Antoine B.; Zalloua, Pierre A. (2019-06-03)

Background Elevated homocysteine (Hc) levels have a well-established and clear causal relationship to epithelial damage leading to coronary artery disease. Furthermore, it is strongly associated with other metabolic ...
