GSTT1(rs4025935) null genotype is associated with increased risk of sickle cell disease in the populations of Tabuk—Northwestern region of Saudi Arabia

Abstract: GSTT1 null genotype is significantly associated with increased risk of SCD among the population of northwestern region of Saudi Arabia. In addition, it may be one of the important factors responsible for hematological manifestations of SCD.

“…El‐Hazmi et al described the genotypes and phenotypes of SCD in the Arab population in 2011 8 . Since then, there have been many new studies describing variants of SCD genotypes and phenotypes, and with the emerging era of gene therapy for SCD, it is essential to compile the current evidence, especially in the last 5 years 22‐44 . We will pool all data describing the genotypic and phenotypic variants of SCD in the Arab population to date in a systematic review.…”

“…GST M1 and T1 genotyping were performed by multiplex PCR. The primers were also used previously (Table 2) [7]. Patient and control genomic DNA (50 ng) was amplified in a reaction volume of 25 μL, which was composed of 25 pmol of each of the primers depicted in Table 2.…”

“…Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a monogenetic hematological disorder caused by homozygosity mutation in the beta-globin gene on chromosome 11 [ 1 ]. SCA was the “first molecular disease”, where technological innovations and chemical differences used to evaluate the abnormality of genes [ 2 ]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5.2% of the world’s population is affected by SCD and this percentage varies in Saudi Arabia’s population according to provinces and areas [ 3 ].…”

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5.2% of the world’s population is affected by SCD and this percentage varies in Saudi Arabia’s population according to provinces and areas [ 3 ]. The Saudi population is considered at high risk of suffering from SCA due to traditional, cultural, and social factors [ 2 , 4 ]. Importantly, there are several causes for clinical and hematologic variability in SCA patients including the single mutation in the beta-globin gene, environmental effects and other genetic modifiers [ 5 , 6 ].…”
