Abuhamda, Allam; Elsous, Aymen; Sharif, Fadel (Hindawi Limited, 2019-02-26)

Partial trisomy 13 is a rare syndrome that usually culminates in death within the first six months of the infant's life. We present a rare case of partial trisomy 13q with exclusive clinical manifestations. The full-term ...

Frequency of balanced reciprocal translocations from couples with recurrent miscarriages correlates with the density of Alu and L1 repeat elements: literature finding‑based study

Sharif, Fadel (Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2019)

Balanced reciprocal translocations constitute the most frequently encountered structural chromosome abnormality in couples experiencing recurrent miscarriages. The present work was undertaken to assess the relation between ...

Genetic polymorphism and risk of having type 2 diabetes in a Palestinian population: a study of 16 gene polymorphism

Sharif, Fadel; Shubair, Mohammad; AL Zaharna, Mazen; Ashour, Mohammed (Avens Publishing Group, 2018)

Background: Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease that encompasses environmental risk factors and the contribution of multiple genomic variants. Studies on the genetic components of T2D revealed many T2D-associated ...

Sharif, Fadel; Salibi, Thiab; Ashour, Mohammed (2018)

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare clonal neoplasm of the antigen presenting Langerhans cells. This case report presents a 29-years old Palestinian white male who visited the university clinic dentist with ...

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphism, nitric oxide and progesterone levels in unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss

El-Gharably, Emad M; Sharif, Fadel A. (2017)

This study was conducted in order to determine the relationships between promoter-786 T> C, exon 7 Glu298Asp (894 G> T) and intron 4 (4a4b) VNTR polymorphisms of eNOS gene, serum nitric oxide (NO) and progesterone (P4) ...

Nphs2 Mutations in Familial Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome in Gaza

Sharif, Fadel A. (2017)

Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is characterized by edema, massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and may progress to end stage renal disease. Based on the response to steroid therapy, NS is categorized ...

The single nucleotide polymorphism rs2305957 G/A is not associated with recurrent pregnancy loss

Sharif, Fadel A.; Ashour, Mohammed J. (2017)

Background: This study was conducted in order to investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2305957 G/A and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in a group of Palestinian women residing in ...

Association between functional polymorphisms of Foxp3 and Interleukin-21 genes with the occurrence of recurrent pregnancy loss in Gaza strip-Palestine

Jaber, Mohammed O; Sharif, Fadel A. (2017)

Background: This study was conducted in order to investigate the association between IL-21 (rs2055979 G/T and rs13143866 A/G) and Foxp3 (rs2232365 A/G and rs3761548 A/C) gene polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) ...

HLA-G and HLA-E Gene polymorphisms in idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion women in Gaza strip-Palestine

Matter, Tamam F; Sharif, Fadel A. (2016)

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-G and HLA-E are non-classical HLA class I antigens expressed on extravillous cytotrophoblast that invades decidua in the uterus during pregnancy and are postulated to help in maternal ...

Dysregulation of micro-RNA contributes to the risk of unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss

El-Shorafa, Heba M; Sharif, Fadel A. (2016)

Although there are plenty of evidence that dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) level is involved in many human diseases, it is still unknown whether abnormal levels of specific miRNAs are associated with recurrent pregnancy ...
