Publications
The Centre has published the first two volumes of its book "Genetic Disorders in the Arab World", which is a consequence of its work on cataloguing the Arab genetic disorders. The first volume of this book gives special emphasis on the data from United Arab Emirates, whereas the second volume deals specially with the Kingdom of Bahrain. A third volume, with the final results from the Sultanate of Oman, is expected soon. Another book published by CAGS is a User's Guide on the CTGA database. All books are freely downloadable from the CAGS website (http://cags.org.ae/publications.html)
As part of its campaign to educate the general public about genetic disorders and their consequences, CAGS released a pocket-book collection of bilingual (English and Arabic) pamphlets on six common genetic blood disorders in the region. Each of these leaflets provides a general description of an inherited blood disorder, along with its symptoms and major characteristics, and follows it up with causes and risk factors, diagnosis and management of the disease. Also provided in each leaflet is information on studies undertaken in the Arab world on the disease.
Scientific articles published by the Centre include articles in the Nucleic Acids Research, American Journal of Human Genetics, and American Journal of Medical Genetics.
