Dr Mahmoud Ruzayqat on Palestine's genetic shift
It was reported that Dr. Mahmoud Rizqaat, a specialist in genetics and hereditary diseases, stated that the Palestinian and Arab communities are facing an increasing prevalence of genetic disorders due to consanguineous marriages. There is a need for more specialized centers and expertise in this field. Rizqaat began his academic journey in Egypt and succeeded in a project related to the hepatitis virus, which earned him the nickname "The Little Scientist." He returned to Palestine to contribute to establishing a system for genetic testing within the country, helping to create a national center for diagnosing hereditary diseases. He explains that genes control the formation and functions of body organs, and advances now allow interventions to prevent diseases before children are born. His team has diagnosed and treated complex genetic cases, contributing to the birth of over 1,300 healthy children since the beginning, and is working on a project for a preventive medicine center to prevent diseases before they occur. He emphasizes the importance of science and social responsibility in developing the Palestinian genetic healthcare sector.
