Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup H structure in North Africa
Hajer Ennafaa,Vicente M. Cabrera,Khaled K. Abu-Amero,Ana M. González,Mohamed Ben Amor,R. Bouhaha,Nduna Dzimiri,Amel Benammar Elgaaied,José M. Larruga +8 more
TL;DR: The subdivision of the mtDNA haplogroup H in North Africa has confirmed that the genetic differentiation found among Western and Eastern populations is mainly due to geographical rather than cultural barriers and shows that the historical Arabian role on the region had more a cultural than a demic effect.
Study of TNFα -308G/A and IL6 -174G/C polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes and obesity risk in the Tunisian population
R. Bouhaha,T. Baroudi,Hajer Ennafaa,Emanuel Vaillant,Hafawa Abid,Rim Sassi,Vincent Vatin,Philippe Froguel,Amel Ben Ammar-El Gaaied,David Meyre,Martine Vaxillaire +10 more
TL;DR: SNPs IL6 -174G/C and TNFalpha -308G/A are not major contributors to T2D or obesity risk in the Tunisian population.

Effect of ENPP1/PC-1-K121Q and PPARγ-Pro12Ala polymorphisms on the genetic susceptibility to T2D in the Tunisian population
R. Bouhaha,David Meyre,H. Abid Kamoun,Hajer Ennafaa,Emmanuel Vaillant,R. Sassi,T. Baroudi,Vincent Vatin,P. Froguel,P. Froguel,Amel Benammar Elgaaied,Martine Vaxillaire +11 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that ENPP1-K121Q is involved in the genetic susceptibility of T2D in the Tunisian population, while the PPARgamma-12Ala allele may confer protection against overweight is supported.

TL;DR: The AIDA Project (autoimmunity: diagnosis assisted by computer) developed in the framework of an Italy-Tunisia cross-border cooperation is introduced and its preliminary results show that CAD, used as second Reader, appeared to perform better than Junior Immunologists and hence may significantly improve their efficacy.
Genome-wide linkage scan for psoriasis susceptibility loci in multiplex Tunisian families.
M. Ammar,C. Bouchlaka-Souissi,Cynthia Helms,I. Zaraa,Craig T. Jordan,Hima Anbunathan,R. Bouhaha,Soumaya Kouidhi,N. Doss,Raouf Dhaoui,A. Ben Osman,A. Ben Ammar El Gaied,Raja Marrakchi,Mourad Mokni,Anne M. Bowcock +14 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that a major locus in the major histocompatibility complex region of the genome is implicated in psoriasis, which is a relapsing chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting all population groups.
