[Clinical impact of SARS-CoV2 infection in professional footballers of the Tunisian Premier League].

Aim Of The Study: The aim of our work, developed within the Tunisian Football Federation (TFF), was to study the clinical manifestations and the possible cardiac complications in professional footballers of the first league having contracted an infection by SARS-CoV2.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study. Professional Premier League football players who contracted COVID-19 from the onset of the pandemic through June 2021 were included.

FecX a Novel BMP15 mutation responsible for prolificacy and female sterility in Tunisian Barbarine Sheep.

Background: Naturally occurring mutations in growth and differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) or bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) genes are associated with increased ovulation rate (OR) and litter size (LS) but also sterility. Observing the Tunisian Barbarine ewes of the "W" flock selected for improved prolificacy, we found prolific and infertile ewes with streaky ovaries. Blood genomic DNA was extracted from a subset of low-ovulating, prolific and infertile ewes of the "W" flock, and the entire coding sequences of GDF9 and BMP15 were sequenced.
