Ocular genetic disease in the Middle East.

Current opinion in ophthalmology - 1 Sept 2013

Khan Arif O

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Centered on the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East encompasses Northern Africa to Western Asia. Primarily Arab and historically tribal, populations from this region often practice customary intrafamilial marriage (consanguinity), intratribal marriage (endogamy), and a preference for many offspring. These social factors increase the frequency of homozygosity, including homozygosity for gene...
