Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Manal Batrawi"
- Manal Batrawi's research primarily focuses on genetic mutations associated with cardiac conditions, particularly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease.
- In her 2020 publication, she identifies a specific founder mutation in the N terminus of cardiac troponin I that significantly contributes to malignant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is linked to a higher risk of sudden cardiac death.
- Her 2015 study on NKX2-5 mutations examines genetic diversity in an inbred consanguineous population, revealing insights into the genotype-phenotype correlations in congenital heart disease among families in Lebanon, highlighting the importance of studying homogeneous genetic backgrounds.
