Article Synopsis
- Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a rising global health issue that remains poorly understood and underdiagnosed.*
- A study conducted with 406 university students in Lebanon revealed that over half of participants knew nothing about MAFLD, and many exhibited unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking and poor diet.*
- Despite these knowledge gaps, students showed a generally positive attitude towards MAFLD; the study suggests educational interventions focused on lifestyle changes are needed to improve awareness and prevention.*
Background: Duplications on the short arm of chromosome X, including the gene , have been associated with gonadal dysgenesis and with male to female sex reversal. Additional clinical manifestations can be observed in the affected patients, depending on the duplicated genomic region. Here we report one of the largest duplications on chromosome X, in a Lebanese patient, and we provide the first comprehensive review of duplications in this genomic region.
