Precision Medicine is a new concept and an emerging model of healthcare where the genetic makeup and its interaction with the environment in incorporated towards enabling prevention, precise diagnosis and prognostication as well as precise treatment and management of a disease or condition.
A number of diseases are quite prevalent in the Arab world which spans Middle East and North Africa. A large part of this is attributed to the widespread practice and norm of consanguinity in the region. Understanding the genetic characteristics of many such diseases would provide the much necessary knowledge to build an effective healthcare system where early screening, early diagnosis and effective management can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality due to such diseases.
We have been working over a decade with an extensive number of collaborators with interests spanning clinical genomics and basic sciences. Our relationships are built on mutual respect, trust and willingness to learn from each other and a common goal to advance genomics. This has impacted our research in a variety of ways, significantly improving our reach, outlook and applications. Our partners have also similarly been impacted through leveraging the support, knowledge base and network and see us as partners towards delivering world-class research and clinical services.
