Article Synopsis
- - Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLDs) are rare genetic disorders that cause loss of fat tissue in certain body areas, with FPLD type 3 linked to mutations in the PPARγ gene.
- - A case study examined a Saudi female with FPLD3, showing severe health issues like uncontrolled diabetes and pancreatitis, and her condition improved significantly after treatment with the drug Pioglitazone.
- - Genetic analysis identified a novel pathogenic mutation in the PPARγ gene, which likely enhances the protein's ability to bind with Pioglitazone, leading to better patient outcomes and expanding the understanding of FPLD3 mutations.
This study assessed the proportion of ABO blood groups and clinical characteristics among Saudi patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.This retrospective cohort study included 404 Saudi adults with COVID-19, confirmed by the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The participants were selected randomly between July 1, 2020, and July 31, 2020, from the Health Electronic Surveillance Network system, which contains the primary data on COVID-19 infections in Jazan.

Emerging data suggests that VDD plays a role in glycemic control. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of VDD among T2DM patients and to investigate its association with patients' characteristics and glycemic control in Jazan.
