2015年12月10日 · Mutations identified in suspected African cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Mutations in red have been empirically shown to cause CF, mutations in purple were reported as novel in the original...

Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disorder that causes the production of thick, sticky mucus and can lead to serious health complications, is known to exist in Africa. However, significant questions about its prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment remain unanswered.

The CAF Champions League, known for sponsorship purposes as the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League [1] and formerly the African Cup of Champions Clubs, is an annual club football competition organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and contested by top-division African clubs, deciding the competition winners through a round ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive disorder in populations of European descent. However, very little is known about CF in populations of African origin among whom it has been believed to be extremely rare. The aim of this study was to determine if this is the case or whether it is under-reported.

2016年7月1日 · Mutations identified in suspected African cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Mutations in red have been empirically shown to cause CF, mutations in purple were reported as novel in the original publication, mutations in blue have varying clinical consequence, mutations in black boxes are unique to Africa, and countries in white have no molecular data.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the most prevalent autosomal recessive inherited disease in Caucasians. Rates of CF were thought to be negligible in non-Caucasians but growing epidemiological evidence shows CF is more common in Indian, African, Hispanic, Asian, and other ethnic groups than previously thought.

2024年1月9日 · The absence of an effective and comprehensive public health strategy for CF in African countries is mainly responsible for this disparity (Stewart and Pepper, 2016). Large-scale genetic and epidemiological studies focusing on African individuals displaying CF symptoms are crucial for enhancing CF screening yield in the region.

Cystic fibrosis (CF; OMIM 219700) is a life-shortening and costly autosomal recessive disease that has been most extensively studied in individuals of Caucasian descent. There is ample evidence, however, that it also affects other ethnicities. In Africa there have been several reports of CF, but the …

The mission of Africa Community Foundation (ACF) is to help local communities to acquire a baseline of farming in order to help alleviate poverty, as well as, to offer an opportunity to proceed onto prosperity by getting their products to markets, both local and abroad

Cystic fibrosis (CF) was earlier thought to be a disease prevalent in the West among Caucasians. However, quite a number of recent studies have uncovered CF cases outside of this region, and reported hundreds of unique and novel variant forms of CFTR. Here, we discuss the evidence of CF in parts of the world earlier considered to be rare ...
