  • Sequencing of Catalytic Serine Protease, Linker, and Activation Peptide Domains-Coding Regions of the F9 Gene in Iraqi Hemophilia B Patients
    Huda H. Obaida, Bassam M.S. Al-Musawi
    Journal of the Faculty of Medicine Baghdad, 2026
    Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the F9 gene, causing bleeding tendency predominantly in males. The mutational spectrum of the F9 gene has not been adequately studied in Iraq. Objectives: To detect the disease-causing variants of exons 6, 7, and 8 and immediate introns of F9 gene using Sanger sequencing among Iraqi hemophilia B patients and to correlate them with phenotypes. Methods: Forty Iraqi hemophilia B patients were recruited for this cross-sectional study from The Hereditary Bleeding Disorder Ward in the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital, Medical City, Baghdad, between November 2021 and April 2022 using a consecutive sampling technique. Peripheral blood samples were used for sequencing exons 6, 7, and 8, which encode catalytic serine protease (SP), linker, and activation peptide domains and immediate introns of the F9 gene using Sanger sequencing. Results: Nineteen (47.5%) patients had positive conclusive results. Fifteen unique variants were detected; 12 (80%) of them were disease-causing. Nine variants were located in the SP, one in the linker domain, and two in the splice site of intron 6. The most common pathogenic variant was the c.572G>A (p.Arg191His) on the linker domain as seen in six patients, while c.880C>T (p.Arg294Ter) and c.1358G>T (p.Trp453Leu) were the most common pathogenic variants of the SP domain as seen in two patients each. The vast majority were point mutations that are generally similar to the reported phenotype. Conclusion: Molecular profiling of F9 gene in the current cohort confirms 12 disease-causing variants, making molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling of hemophilia B possible. It explained the discrepancy between FIX level and clinical course, and variable severity among family members. Integrating genetic data into national registries will expand the molecular database for important health conditions in Iraq, improving healthcare provision through genetic counseling, prevention, and prenatal diagnosis.
  • Assessment of Six Polymorphic Variants as Genetic Risks for Coronary Artery Disease: A Case–Control Study
    Bassam Musa Sadik Al-Musawi, Rafah Kamil Obeid Al-Ajeeli
    Medical Journal of Babylon, 2025
    Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Certain genetic polymorphisms play an important role in this multifactorial disease, being linked with increased risk of early onset CAD. Objective: To assess six genetic polymorphisms and clinical risk factors in relation to early onset nondiabetic Iraqi Arab CAD patients compared to controls. Materials and Methods: This case–control study recruited 40 Iraqi patients with early onset CAD and 20 healthy controls. Demographic and clinical data were reported. Six genetic variants were tested: β-fibrinogen (FGB), human platelet antigen 1 (HPA1a/b), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), two variants of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and lymphotoxin alpha (LTA), utilizing a ready-to-use kit. Results: The majority of patients were older males (85%), nonsmokers (52.5%), hypertensives (57.5%), had dyslipidemia (100%), and had a family history of ischemia (77.5%). This contrasts the findings in the control group (P < 0.001). From the six studied polymorphisms, a statistically significant difference was found between patients and controls in relation to ACE and LTA genes (P = 0.032 and 0.028), respectively. None (0%) of the participants had a genetic risk score >6. There was a statistically significant association between higher clinical risk scores and CAD group; eNOS G894T was found to be linked with increasing age, while LTA was linked to dyslipidemia. Conclusions: This study aids in CAD risk stratification. There is a need for longitudinal studies assessing more genetic risks to CAD as a national CAD preventive program for high-risk Iraqi people.

    Bassam M. Al-Musawi, Ali M. Khalid, Nadin A. Kamal, Maha Z. Muneer
    Journal of the Faculty of Medicine Baghdad, 2025
    Background: Birth defects are the leading cause of both neonatal and post-neonatal deaths, as an estimated 240,000 neonates die in their first month of life worldwide each year. In Iraq, local studies have shown varying frequencies and types of congenital anomalies. Objectives: To provide new insight into the incidence and types of congenital anomalies and to explore their possible risk factors in Baghdad City. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, a total of 2007 neonates were enrolled from six hospitals in Baghdad during the period extending between September and December 2020. Hospital records and personal interviews were used for data collection. These data included the neonates' demographic and clinical characteristics, maternal, pregnancy, and immediate postnatal conditions. Description of the defects in those with birth defects was recorded from hospital records and as described by the parents. Statistical analysis was performed as required. Results: There were 64 (3.2%) neonates with birth defects, i.e., an incidence of 32/1000 total births (28/1000 live births); of them, 38 (59.4%) were males, 8 (12.5%) were stillborn, 43 (66.2%) were born with a cesarean section, the majority (87.5%) had maternal age between 20 and 40 years, and 35 (54.6%) had a low birth weight and were statistically significant. In addition, reduced fetal movement, prematurity, and not receiving tonics during pregnancy were also statistically significant. Among the 64 births with congenital anomalies, multiple congenital anomalies were the most common defects [26 (40.6%)]. An isolated defect was detected in 38 (57.8%) of them. The predominant system involved was the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) [12 (18.8%)] cases, followed by the central nervous system (CNS) with 11 (17.2%) cases, and the musculoskeletal system (MS) with 6 (9.4%) cases. Conclusion: The incidence of birth defects in Baghdad is close to global figures at 28/1000 live births with multiple congenital anomalies, gastro-intestinal, central nervous, and musculoskeletal systems defects being the most frequent, while cardiovascular, genitourinary, and skin defects being the least frequent. Possible risk factors included maternal age, drug intake, and not receiving tonics during pregnancy.
  • Clinical and Molecular Analysis of ATP7B Variants Identified by Next-Generation Sequencing in Iraqi Adults With Wilson Disease
    Ruqayah G.Y. Al-Obaidi, Bassam M.S. Al-Musawi
    Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, 2025
    Objectives: This study aimed to identify and analyse ATP7B variants in Iraqi adults with Wilson disease (WD) by long-read next-generation sequencing. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Poisoning Consultation Center at Ghazy Al-Hariri Hospital for Surgical Specialties and the Gastroenterology Consultation Clinic at Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Medical City in Baghdad, Iraq. Unrelated patients with clinical and biochemical features suggestive of WD were recruited between October 2022 and October 2023. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Variants in the ATP7B gene were identified using long-read next-generation sequencing and then analysed by in-silico tools. Results: A total of 45 patients were recruited in which 59 unique variants were detected; of them, 47 were deleterious, 9 were variants of uncertain significance (VUS) and 3 had a conflicting interpretation of pathogenicity. Those variants were detected in 80 out of 90 alleles of the ATP7B gene. Of the participants, 23 (51.1%) patients had 2 deleterious variants (8 in homozygous and 15 in compound heterozygous state); 12 (26.7%) patients had 1 deleterious variant plus 1 VUS or 1 with conflicting pathogenicity; and 10 (22.2%) patients were carriers of a single disease-causing variant. The most frequent variant, c.4021G>A (p.Gly1341Ser), was detected in 5 alleles, while c.3191A>C (p.Glu1064Ala) was detected in 4 alleles, followed by c.2165dupT (p.Arg723GlufsTer32) and c.3247C>T (p.Leu1083Phe), each detected in 3 alleles. Among the 59 variants, 42 were missense, 9 were frameshift, 6 were stop-gain, 2 were splice-donors and 1 was an in-frame deletion. The variant H1069Q, which is common worldwide, was not detected in this study. Conclusions: The ATP7B mutational spectrum in Iraqi patients with WD is significantly diverse, despite high rates of consanguinity. Evidence was provided for 8 variants to be considered for reclassification as deleterious. The diagnostic criteria for those with high Leipzig scores with only a single deleterious variant remain questionable.

  • Molecular Detection of Mononucleotide Biomarkers of Microsatellite Instability in Sporadic Colorectal Carcinoma Patients with Clinicopathological Correlation
    Wed Thamer Salman Al-Jumaili, Bassam Musa Sadik Al-Musawi
    Journal of Contemporary Medical Sciences, 2023
    Objectives: To identify the frequency and types of microsatellite instability among a group of sporadic CRC patients and to correlate the findings with clinicopathological characteristics.
 Methods: During an 8-month period, all patients with sporadic CRC who attended to two teaching hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq were recruited to this cross-sectional study regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, or tumor characteristics. Demographic, clinical, and histopathological features were recorded. DNA was extracted from FFPE-blocks of the resected tumors and normal tissues. PCR amplification of five microsatellite mononucleotide repeat loci (BAT25, BAT26, NR-21, NR-24, and MONO-27) and 2 pentanucleotide repeat control markers (Penta C and Penta D) was performed to determine the MSI status. Capillary electrophoresis and Genetic Analyzer 3500 (Applied Biosystem, Japan) were used to separate and examine the products. Data were analyzed by Genescan software (Promega, USA). Instability of two or more loci is considered MSI-H.
 Result: In this study, ages of the 45 recruited patients ranged between 20-80 years, with a mean±SD of 55±12.3 years; of them, 31(68.9%) were ≥50 years; 25 (55.6%) were males. Rectal bleeding was the most frequent presenting feature [22 (48.9%)] patients; 23 (51.1%) of CRCs were located at recto-sigmoid region, 29 (64.4%) were T3 tumors, 34(75.5%) were non-mucinous adenocarcinoma, 39(86.7%) were moderately differentiated, 17 (37.8%) patients had stage III tumors; and 25 (55.5%) had lymphovascular invasion. MSI-H was seen in 5/45 (11.1%) patients; 3(60%) of them were ≥50 years, 4(80%) were males, 3(60%) were smokers, 2 (40%) presented with intestinal obstruction and altered bowel habits each; 4(80%) had T3 tumors, 3(60%) had mucinous adenocarcinomas [p=0.004], 2(40%) had stage II tumor and stage III each.
 Conclusion: The frequency of MSI-H among the recruited patients with CRC was 5/45 (11.1%) and it was significantly associated with mucinous adenocarcinoma subtype. NR-24 and NR-21 were the most prevalent instable markers.

    Asal Gailan Abdul-Qadir, Bassam Musa Al-Musawi, Rabab Farhan Thejeal, Saad Abdul-Baqi Al-Omar
    Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2021
    Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive multisystem disease that results from mutation(s) of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. More than 2100 mutations and polymorphisms have been reported in this gene so far. Incidence and genotyping of CF are under-identified in Iraq. This study aims to determine the types and frequencies of certain CFTR mutations among a sample of Iraqi CF patients. Two groups of patients were included: 31 clinically confirmed CF patients in addition to 47 clinically suspected patients of CF. All confirmed patients had typical, moderate-severe clinical presentation and course of the disease. Molecular analysis was performed on the majority of enrolled patients using the CF-stripAssay® kit supplied by ViennaLab diagnostics, GmbH, Austria. Results The mutation-detection rate from the tested 34 mutations in this study was 19.5% and the 8 detected mutations were as follows: 3120+1G>A and W1282X were found in 3 (4.17%) patients each; F508del and R1162X were found in 2 (2.78%) patients each; 3272-26A>G, R347P, I507del, and 2183AA>G were found in 1 (1.38%) patient each. Polymorphic variants of IVS8, namely 5T, 7T, and 9T, were detected in ~ 70%. These results were nearly similar to what was reported in regional countries. Conclusion Cystic fibrosis seems to be not rare as previously thought. 3120+1G>A and W1282X are the two most commonly detected mutations. F508del needs to be included in all future tests, while the I507del mutation was uniquely reported in this study but not in regional studies.

    Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders. The most frequent one is 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Analyzing CYP21A2 gene mutations was so far not reported in Iraq. This work aims to analyze the spectrum and frequency of CYP21A2 mutations among Iraqi CAH patients. Sixty-two children were recruited from the Pediatric Endocrine Consultation Clinic, Children Welfare Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, from September 2014 till June 2015. Their ages ranged between one day and 15 years. They presented with salt wasting, simple virilization, or pseudoprecocious puberty. Cytogenetic study was performed for cases with ambiguous genitalia. Molecular analysis of CYP21A2 gene was done using the CAH StripAssay (ViennaLab Diagnostics) for detection of 11 point mutations and >50% of large gene deletions/conversions. Mutations were found in 42 (67.7%) patients; 31 (50%) patients were homozygotes, 9 (14.5%) were heterozygotes, and 2 (3.2%) were compound heterozygotes with 3 mutations, while 20 (32.3%) patients had none of the tested mutations. The most frequently detected mutations were large gene deletions/conversions found in 12 (19.4%) patients, followed by I2Splice and Q318X in 8 (12.9%) patients each, I172N in 5 (8.1%) patients, and V281L in 4 (6.5%) patients. Del 8 bp, P453S, and R483P were each found in one (1.6%) and complex alleles were found in 2 (3.2%). Four point mutations (P30L, Cluster E6, L307 frameshift, and R356W) were not identified in any patient. In conclusion, gene deletions/conversions and 7 point mutations were recorded in varying proportions, the former being the commonest, generally similar to what was reported in regional countries.

    OBJECTIVES Behçet's disease (BD) is an immune-mediated small vessel systemic vasculitis. Human β-defensins are antimicrobial peptides associated with many inflammatory diseases and are encoded by the β-defensin family of multiple-copy genes. However, their role in BD necessitates further investigation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible association of BD in its various clinical forms with defensin β-4 (DEFB4) genomic copy numbers. METHODS This case-control study was conducted from January to September 2011 and included 50 control subjects and 27 unrelated Iraqi BD patients registered at Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Bagdad, Iraq. Copy numbers of the DEFB4 gene were determined using the comparative cycle threshold method by duplex real-time polymerase chain reaction technology at the Department of Dermatology of Jena University Hospital, Jena, Germany. RESULTS DEFB4 genomic copy numbers were significantly higher in the BD group compared to the control group (P = 0.010). However, no statistically significant association was found between copy numbers and clinical variables within the BD group. CONCLUSION The DEFB4 copy number polymorphism may be associated with BD; however, it is not associated with different clinical manifestations of the disease.
