Hereditary Disorders in Moderate-Altitude Taif, Saudi Arabia: Molecular Genetic Evidence and a Community Genomics Research Agenda

2026-08-22

Abstract excerpt

Abstract: - Taif is situated at approximately 1,800 m above sea level, below the conventional threshold for high altitude but sufficiently elevated to justify investigation of oxygen-sensitive phenotypes. Its community-genetics profile is also shaped by consanguinity, family-specific founder variants, and a substantial burden of autosomal-recessive disease. This critical narrative review separates three related qu...
