While a number of disorders have a wide geographical presence encompassing 10 or more Arab countries, almost half of these disorders occur in a single Arab country or population. Nearly, one-third of the genetic disorders in Arabs result from congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities, which are also responsible for a significant proportion of neonatal and perinatal deaths in Arab populations. Strikingly, about two-thirds of these diseases in Arab patients follow an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. High fertility rates together with increased consanguineous marriages, generally noticed in Arab populations, tend to increase the rates of genetic and congenital abnormalities. Many of the nearly 500 genes studied in Arab people revealed striking spectra of heterogeneity with many novel and rare mutations causing large arrays of clinical outcomes. In this review we provided an overview of Arab gene geography, and various genetic abnormalities in Arab populations, including disorders of blood, metabolic, circulatory and neoplasm, and also discussed their associated molecules or genes responsible for the cause of these disorders. Although studying Arab-specific genetic disorders resulted in a high value knowledge base, approximately 35% of genetic diseases in Arabs do not have a defined molecular etiology. This is a clear indication that comprehensive research is required in this area to understand the molecular pathologies causing diseases in Arab populations.</p></div></front><back><div1

While a number of disorders have a wide geographical presence encompassing 10 or more Arab countries, almost half of these disorders occur in a single Arab country or population. Nearly, one-third of the genetic disorders in Arabs result from congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities, which are also responsible for a significant proportion of neonatal and perinatal deaths in Arab populations. Strikingly, about two-thirds of these diseases in Arab patients follow an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. High fertility rates together with increased consanguineous marriages, generally noticed in Arab populations, tend to increase the rates of genetic and congenital abnormalities. Many of the nearly 500 genes studied in Arab people revealed striking spectra of heterogeneity with many novel and rare mutations causing large arrays of clinical outcomes. In this review we provided an overview of Arab gene geography, and various genetic abnormalities in Arab populations, including disorders of blood, metabolic, circulatory and neoplasm, and also discussed their associated molecules or genes responsible for the cause of these disorders. Although studying Arab-specific genetic disorders resulted in a high value knowledge base, approximately 35% of genetic diseases in Arabs do not have a defined molecular etiology. This is a clear indication that comprehensive research is required in this area to understand the molecular pathologies causing diseases in Arab populations.</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords:</title><kwd>Arab populations</kwd><kwd>neolithic</kwd><kwd>population genetics</kwd><kwd>gene geography</kwd><kwd>genetic disorders</kwd><kwd>neoplasms</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec><title>A definition of ‘Arab populations’</title><p>The term “Arabs” indicates a panethnicity of peoples of various ancestral origins, religious backgrounds, and historic identities.

In all cases, the Arab geocultural unit is the largest in the world after Russia and Anglo-America. The size of this unit exceeds 375 million people and spans more than 14 million square kilometers.<sup><xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>Paleolithic out-of-Africa migrations</title><p>Archeological excavations, historical records, and molecular analyses, mainly based on the study of uniparental Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), provided considerable information regarding the early evolutionary history of modern humans in the vast geographical region embracing Arab populations. The advent of genomic methodologies based on the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms allowed the drawing of conclusions on the genetic structures of Arab populations with a higher resolution.<sup><xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup></p><p>DNA evidence indicates that modern humans originated in East Africa about 200-100 kiloyears (kyr) ago then established regional populations throughout the continent.<sup><xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> Archeological artifacts excavated from Taforalt in today's Morocco indicate that human inhabitation of modern day's Maghreb region (i.e., modern day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya) dates back to some 82 kyr ago.<sup><xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup> At that time, settlements in the region were characterized by developed cultural manifestations that could only be present in Europe 40 millennia later.<sup><xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> According to the Recent Out-of-Africa model, members of one branch of anatomically modern humans left Africa to the Near East some 70-45 kyr ago.<sup><xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>,<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup> Phylogenies constructed on the basis of mtDNA comparisons are indicative for two possible migration routes in this episode of human history (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>):<list list-type="simple"><list-item><label>(3)</label><p>A major route laid across Bab-el-Mandeb straits in the Red Sea linking modern day Eritrea and Djibouti in Africa to Yemen, hence, probably making the Arabian Peninsula as the initial staging post in the first successful migration of anatomically modern humans out of Africa 70-60 kyr ago.<sup><xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>-<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup> Y-chromosome diversity studies in modern Saudi males support this view as 14% of them exhibit a pool typical of African biogeographic ancestry.<sup><xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup> High diversity in the Y-haplogroup substructure in samples from the region extends the geography of this active route to include southern Arabia, South Iran, and South Pakistan. This route has possibly maintained its important role in influencing gene flow from Africa along the coastal crescent-shaped corridor of the Gulf of Oman and could have facilitated human dispersals into the region until nearly 2500 years ago.<sup><xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref></sup></p></list-item><list-item><label>(4)</label><p>Another route followed the Nile from East Africa, heading northwards and crossing through the Sinai Peninsula into the Levant and resulted in a noticeable gene flow during the Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods between 40-14 kyr ago.<sup><xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>-<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref></sup> Recent data from Alu/short tandem repeat compound systems and genome-wide polymorphisms are in support with this view with 4-15% of the Levantine groups harboring African ancestry while this influence barely reaches 1-3% in Southern Europeans.<sup><xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>-<xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></sup> Human populations in the Near East then branched in several directions, some heading north into Europe and others heading east into Asia.<sup><xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>-<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> Y-chromosome analysis supports this view and demonstrates the absence of any significant genetic barrier in the Levant, where a remarkable genetic variation was attained and gene flow followed the “isolation-by-distance” model. This is in contrast to a strong north-south genetic barrier, for both male and female gene flow, in the western Mediterranean basin, defined by the Gibraltar Strait.<sup><xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref></sup></p></list-item></list></p><p>Paleoanthropological evidence and mtDNA variation analysis indicate that both the Levantine corridor and the Horn of Africa served, repeatedly, as migratory passageways between Africa and Eurasia.<sup><xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>,<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref></sup> Some of the oldest known genetic mutations that could have followed this route include: (1) the delta fig508 (c.1521_1523delCTT) mutation of the CFTR gene, which is responsible today for a majority of cases with cystic fibrosis in Europe,<sup><xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref></sup> and (2) the p.Glu6Val sickle cell mutation associated with the Benin haplotype and frequently observed in the western coastal region of the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, Egypt, and in the Maghreb region.<sup><xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref></sup></p><p>Some studies also support the view that regions near, but external to northeast Africa, like the Levant, the southern-Arabian Peninsula, or Mesopotamia could have served as incubators for the early diversification of non-African lineages and the development of local cultural techniques.<sup><xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>,<xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref></sup> Again, the p.Glu6Val sickle cell mutation provides a supportive evidence for this view since the mutation associated with the Arab/Asian haplotype seems to be restricted to the eastern coastal regions of the Arabian Peninsula with milder presence in Mesopotamia and the Levant.<sup><xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>The early farmers</title><p>Around 12 kyr ago, Neolithic human populations adapted some developed agricultural technologies that allowed them to cause a far-reaching shift in subsistence and lifestyle. Improvement of the climatic conditions in the area along with the practice of agriculture helped in the establishment of major historical settlements with sizeable densities that could have contributed enormously to the genetic makeup of modern Arab populations.

Four mutations in BRCA2 gene cause breast/ovarian cancer in Moroccan families including three novel ones (c.3381delT/3609delT; c.7110delA/7338delA, and c.7235insG/7463insG).<sup><xref rid="bib116" ref-type="bibr">116</xref></sup>. The same study also identified a large number of distinct polymorphisms and unclassified variants in BRCA2 as well as in BRCA1 that were described for the first time.<sup><xref rid="bib116" ref-type="bibr">116</xref></sup> In four unrelated Tunisian families, two novel c.1313dupT and c.7654dupT mutations in exons 10 and 16 of the BRCA2 gene were reported.<sup><xref rid="bib124" ref-type="bibr">124</xref></sup> In an Arab patient of Palestinian descent with breast cancer, the c.2482delGACT novel BRCA2 truncating mutation was observed.<sup><xref rid="bib123" ref-type="bibr">123</xref></sup> An extensive analysis of familial breast cancer in Lebanon revealed the presence of 40 BRCA2 gene sequence variants, many of which are novel.<sup><xref rid="bib122" ref-type="bibr">122</xref></sup> In Saudi patients, an unclassified p.Asp1420Tyr BRCA2 variant was detected.<sup><xref rid="bib123" ref-type="bibr">123</xref></sup> This array of region-specific mutation seems to extend to Arab Diasporas as well. For example, the c.5804del4 mutation in exon 11 of BRCA2 gene was seen in nearly half of the carriers of deleterious mutations in Arab American women. This mutation has not been previously associated with a particular Arab ethnicity and may represent a founder mutation of recent origin.<sup><xref rid="bib125" ref-type="bibr">125</xref></sup></p><p>Another frequently mutated gene in Arab breast cancer patients is the TP53 gene. In fact, the frequency of TP53 mutations among Saudi patients is one of the highest in the world. The list of mutations include seven novel ones of which five are found in exon 4 of the TP53 gene. In brief, tumors from Arab breast cancer patients have a high prevalence (29%) of TP53 mutations in exons 4 and 5, whereas the smallest proportion of TP53 mutations (10%) is found in exon 7. Also, an excess of G:C>A:T transitions (49%) at non-CpG sites was noted, suggesting exposure to particular environmental carcinogens such as N-nitroso compounds.<sup><xref rid="bib126" ref-type="bibr">126</xref></sup> In addition, several single nucleotide polymorphisms in Arab patients seem to be specific to the indigenous populations and could be associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Examples include: the p.Pro72Pro in the TP53 gene and the c.309GG in the MDM2 gene in Saudi women, the c.-251A IL8 allele in Tunisian women, and the c.1298A>C DNA polymorphism in the MTHFR gene in patients of Syrian ancestry.<sup><xref rid="bib127" ref-type="bibr">127</xref>-<xref rid="bib129" ref-type="bibr">129</xref></sup></p><p>In western societies, mutation of the TP3 gene is highly associated with epithelial ovarian cancers (50–80%), however, only 32% Arab patients with this neoplasm exhibit TP3 gene mutations. Instead, PIK3CA amplification, but not PIK3CA mutation, is the single most common genetic alteration in Arab cases (60%) and is mutually exclusive with gene mutations in both PI3 Kinase and MAPK pathways (PIK3CA, KRAS, and BRAF).<sup><xref rid="bib130" ref-type="bibr">130</xref>-<xref rid="bib132" ref-type="bibr">132</xref></sup> This finding is suggestive for a significant role of the dysregulated PI3K/Akt pathway in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancers.<sup><xref rid="bib132" ref-type="bibr">132</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>Colorectal carcinoma (CRC)</title><p>This type of neoplasm is a further example demonstrating a genetic heterogeneity in the region in which not only different alleles of the same gene are involved, but also several genes seem to be of importance for the emergence of this ailment. In Moroccan patients with attenuated polyposis, the homozygous p.Tyr165Cys and c.1186_1187insGG mutations of the MYH gene were reported<sup><xref rid="bib133" ref-type="bibr">133</xref>,<xref rid="bib134" ref-type="bibr">134</xref></sup> whereas in neighboring Tunisia, a large deletion involving exon 6 of the MLH1, a DNA mismatch repair, gene was observed in a family with six patients diagnosed with a colorectal or an endometrial cancer and characterized by a severe phenotype and an early onset.<sup><xref rid="bib135" ref-type="bibr">135</xref></sup> Another study in Tunisians demonstrated a significant association between the p.E1317Q, p.D1822V, and p.I1307K variants of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene with colorectal carcinoma risk.<sup><xref rid="bib136" ref-type="bibr">136</xref></sup> The p.I1307K mutation seems to have a long history in the region as demonstrated in the repeated observation of the allele among many populations in the region. In 1999, the p.I1307K mutation was first described among Ashkenazi and Yemenite Jews.<sup><xref rid="bib137" ref-type="bibr">137</xref></sup> A study on the general population demonstrated a carrier frequency of the allele in Yemenite Jews of approximately 5%.<sup><xref rid="bib138" ref-type="bibr">138</xref></sup> A more extensive analysis showed the p.I1307K mutation existed in Sephardi Jews of Syrian, Egyptian, Moroccan, Yemeni, and Palestinian origins, as well as in Muslim and Christian individuals of Arab descent. This study also demonstrated that the ancestor of modern p.I1307K alleles existed some 2.2-2.95 kya.<sup><xref rid="bib139" ref-type="bibr">139</xref></sup> The portrait of colorectal carcinoma further gets more interesting with the presence of a recent study that investigated the methylation patterns in colorectal carcinoma from Egypt and Jordan and showed that differing gene methylation patterns and mutation frequencies are also involved, hence, indicating dissimilar molecular pathogenesis and probably reflecting different environmental exposures.<sup><xref rid="bib140" ref-type="bibr">140</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>Prostate cancer</title><p>In Tunisians, a significantly increased prostate cancer risk was associated with the VEGF-634 (GC+CC) combined genotype while the VEGF-634C allele was associated with high histological grade. However, the VEGF-1154A/-634G haplotype was negatively associated with prostate cancer risk and high tumor grade.<sup><xref rid="bib141" ref-type="bibr">141</xref></sup> No association was observed between the p.N700S TSP1 polymorphism and prostate cancer risk or severity. Yet, subjects carrying one copy of the MMP9-1562T allele exhibited a threefold higher risk of developing prostate cancer.<sup><xref rid="bib142" ref-type="bibr">142</xref></sup></p></sec><sec><title>Other neoplasms</title><p>The CYP1A1*2C, GSTT1 null, and GSTP1 TT genotypes demonstrated significant association with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the Saudi population.<sup><xref rid="bib143" ref-type="bibr">143</xref></sup> The CYP1A1 c.4887C>A genotypes CA, AA and variant allele A were demonstrated to have significant differences and greater risk of developing papillary thyroid cancer in Saudi patients compared to wild type genotype CC. Also, in thyroid cancer, GSTT1 null showed higher risk while GSTM1 null showed protective effect.<sup><xref rid="bib144" ref-type="bibr">144</xref></sup> Tunisian smokers carrying this later allele had an approximately 2.2-fold high risk of bladder cancer.<sup><xref rid="bib145" ref-type="bibr">145</xref></sup> Furthermore, individuals carrying at least one copy of the methionine synthase (MS) c.2756A>G variant allele and heterozygous for the c.1298A>C MTHFR polymorphism displayed a 2.33 and 1.8 times increased risk of developing bladder cancer, respectively.<sup><xref rid="bib146" ref-type="bibr">146</xref></sup></p></sec></sec><sec><title>Final note</title><p>A multitude of studies reviewed in this paper clearly indicate that the Arab region was an important milieu for the early adaptations of modern human populations to the out-of-Africa environment. The experiences learned in that period certainly have allowed human populations to establish further settlements and cover many areas in the rest of the world. The tidal movements of historical populations in and out of the Arab region allowed the area to become an important bridge for the flow of genes between Africa, Asia, and Europe. This characteristic made the area a focal point of attraction for many population geneticists seeking to fill the gap in the interpretation of benign or lethal genomic variations in world populations.</p><p>While we could be fascinated with the extent of the genetic heterogeneity that characterizes Arab population, understanding the genetic structure of populations and exploring their biogeographical heterogeneities may also yield a better understanding of the genetic processes and, eventually, disease etiologies in the region. In many instances, studying Arab families, with Arab-specific genetic disorders, has resulted in a high value knowledge base and linked many genes to well-defined phenotypes and helped a great deal in global genome annotation efforts.<sup><xref rid="bib147" ref-type="bibr">147</xref></sup> Yet, many of the nearly 500 genes studied in Arab people revealed striking spectra of heterogeneities with many rare and novel mutations causing large arrays of clinical outcomes, thus, considerably complicating proper counseling and diagnosis for many disorders. Unfortunately, the materialization of large-scale personalized medical genomics may not be expected in the near future especially because of the presence of hundreds of genetic disorders in Arabs with no defined molecular determinants and because of the restricted economies to sustain genomic research throughout the region.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref
