The first
dissertation was discussed at the “College of Medicine and Health Sciences” at
the “UAEUniversity” latelyfor the student “NadiaAwniAkkwai” under the theme “Identifying
the genetic factors causing some recessive genetic diseases”.
The dissertation
tackled the molecular and cellular basis for seven genetically recessivesomatic
disorders. The importance of this study in the “UAE” in particular is due tothe
high rates of relative marriages, which is one of the causes of these
disorders. Therefore, the clarification of the genetic factors that cause such
disorders leads to improve the health care for the patient, and to implement
effective preventive programs to reduce the occurrence of new cases.
