Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health concern linked to liver disease and cancer, with research focusing on genetic factors that affect its evolution.
- Recent studies highlighted the ECM1 gene, specifically two polymorphisms (rs3834087 and rs3754217), which may influence HBV pathogenesis, particularly in an African cohort analyzed in this research.
- The study found that the heterozygous genotype of rs3754217 appears to protect against chronic hepatitis, suggesting that certain genetic variations may impact the severity of the disease in infected individuals.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors for neonatal sepsis among neonates admitted to selected health facilities in the Bamako district and Koulikoro region in Mali.
Design: This is a prospective cross-sectional study. Data were analyses using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression.
A novel bacterial strain, HK31-G, was isolated from a subsurface geothermal aquifer (Hellisheidi, SW-Iceland) and was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene along with phylogenomic position indicated that the novel strain belongs to the genus Phenylobacterium. Cells are motile Gram-negative thin rods.

The continuation of these accomplishments was stimulated by the 12 international conference of AfSHG held jointly with the 1 Congress of the Malian Society of Human Genetics (MSHG) in Bamako, Mali from September 18 to 21 2019. The main theme of the conference was "Human Genetics and Genomics as a Unifying Factor for Harmony and Progress in Africa".

The objectives of the present study were to determine the frequency, to describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics according to the type of CIS (primary and secondary), and to establish the prognosis.
Method: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in the Gynecology-Obstetrics unit of CHU Gabriel Touré (2015 - 2021).
