Maha Hoteit,Asma Arabi,Robert H. Habib,Rami Mahfouz,Rafic Baddoura,Georges Halaby,Ghada El-Hajj Fuleihan +6 more
TL;DR: Genetic variants in ERα were not associated with metabolic syndrome or its components, in a group of 250 Lebanese Caucasian elderly participants, a group with a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

Pulmonary Embolism in a Sarcoidosis Patient Double Heterozygous for Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Polymorphisms and Factor V Leiden and Homozygous for the D-Allele of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene
TL;DR: A middle aged man with sarcoidosis who developed a right main pulmonary embolism and was found to be double heterozygous for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphisms and factor V Leiden and homozygously for the D-allele of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene is presented.
First report on HLA-DPB1 gene allelic distribution in the general Lebanese population.
TL;DR: This first study that assesses HLA-DPB1 typing among healthy Lebanese individuals found an interesting similarity between the Lebanese and Greek populations with highly specific alleles not reported in other communities.

OC002—Cyp2r1 Genetic Polymorphisms Are Associated With Lower 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Levels In Lebanese Subjects
TL;DR: This is the first study that shows the association of genetic polymorphisms in CYP2R1 with hypovitaminosis D in the Middle East, and carriers of the rs12794714 and rs10766197 variant alleles are associated with baseline 25-OHD that was 3.24 ng/ml and 4.48 ng/ML lower, respectively.
