Understanding the perceptions of genetic testing by members of the deaf community may help in planning deafness genetics research, especially so in the context of strong adherence to cultural values as found among native Africans. Among Yorubas in Nigeria, deafness is perceived to be caused by ...
In a study conducted in Nigeria in 2018, it was found that 69.4% of the participants enrolled in the study had knowledge of genetics and genetic diseases. In the same enrolled participants, 97.6% had very little knowledge about prenatal genetic disease testing or screening, 23.9% had positive ...
Genetic diversity was lowest in the Kudang, Walekounda (both located in the Gambia River basin), Lake Sélingué (western Niger basin) and Kongoussi (Red/White Volta basin) populations. Populations that showed the greatest level of genetic variation were from Malanville (eastern Niger basin) a...
cost reduction, and growing awareness of genetic predispositions to diseases like cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases drive its adoption. In predictive genetic testing, individuals use these tests to ass...
In addition to the data of Gildenhuys et al. (2015b) we also obtained DNA sequence data for the ITS region for three C. halicacabum samples (two from China and one from India) and four C. grandiflorum samples (one each from Brazil, Nigeria and Panama and Uganda) from the GenBank onl...

Over 8,000 people from Ghana and Nigeria participated in the study, including nearly 5,000 people with chronic kidney disease of various stages and more than 800 people who had kidney biopsies that confirmed their disease. The study found that nearly one-third of individuals in these two nation...
Ethnicity results from DNA testing. Fascinating. Intriguing. Frustrating. Exciting. Fun. Challenging. Mysterious. Enlightening. And sometimes wrong. These descriptions all fit. Welcome to your personal conundrum! The riddle of you! If you'd l

Infertility has become a major social concern, with high demand for treatment. Due to the high prevalence of genetic abnormalities among men suffering from infertility with severe oligozoospermia and azoospermia, cytogenetic testing is highly warranted.
