Qatar genome: Insights on genomics from the Middle East

Hamdi Mbarek et al.

Summary: This study describes insights from Phase 1 of the Qatar Genome Program, where 6047 individuals from Qatar were whole genome sequenced. The results show that due to high consanguinity and founder effects in the Middle Eastern population, rare deleterious variants are more common in the Qatari population, while other variants seem to provide protection against diseases and have shaped the genetic architecture of adaptive phenotypes. These findings are valuable for advancing genetic studies in the Arab and neighboring Middle Eastern populations, as well as improving our understanding of global patterns of human variations, human history, and genetic contributions to health and diseases in diverse populations.

Matching Drug Metabolites from Non-Targeted Metabolomics to Self-Reported Medication in the Qatar Biobank Study

Karsten Suhre et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the consistency between drug-related metabolites and self-reported medication use in population-based biobank studies using non-targeted metabolomics measurements. It highlights the potential of using drug metabolites as proxies for medication use and identifies areas for future improvements.

Whole genome sequencing in the Middle Eastern Qatari population identifies genetic associations with 45 clinically relevant traits

Gaurav Thareja et al.

Summary: This study conducted a genome-wide association study on the population of Qatar, identifying genetic variations in 45 clinically relevant traits. The research suggests that trait heritability is more similar between Qataris and Europeans than with Africans. Additionally, the study found both known and novel Qatari-specific genetic signals related to these traits.

Acetaminophen metabolism revisited using non-targeted analyses: Implications for human biomonitoring

Arthur David et al.

Summary: This study aimed to address the issue of potential underestimation of APAP use by identifying overlooked metabolites with delayed formation and excretion rates in a controlled longitudinal exposure study. These metabolites, formed via the thiomethyl shunt after the enterohepatic circulation, were found to have delayed peak levels in blood and urine compared to other APAP metabolites, potentially extending the window of exposure assessment and providing important information regarding metabolic pathways of interest from a toxicological perspective.

Actionable genomic variants in 6045 participants from the Qatar Genome Program

Amal Elfatih et al.

Summary: This study identified and analyzed medically actionable variants in the 59 ACMG genes among a Qatari population and found that 2.3% of participants carried pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants. Additionally, the phenotype-genotype association of nonpathogenic ACMG variants was evaluated, revealing significant associations for two variants, c.313+3A>C in LDLR and c.58C>T (p.Gln20*) in TPM1.
