AbstractRecent molecular studies indicate that Podarcis wall lizards occurring in the southern region of the Iberian Peninsula and in North Africa, from south Morocco to eastern Tunisia, constitute a monophyletic group composed of several highly differentiated forms that appear to be incipient species. However, Algerian populations, which are geographically intermediate, have not been investigated so far. In this study we determine the levels of genetic variability between Algerian populations and other North African populations, using a more extensive sampling scheme covering most of the distribution range in this area. Our results show that North African Podarcis present high genetic diversity, comprising at least five highly divergent lineages. Two of these lineages were only detected in Algeria, which harbours most of the genetic diversity found within Podarcis from North Africa.

Myasthenic Syndrome

Abstract Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are associated with defects in the structure and the function of neuromuscular junctions. These rare disorders can result from mutations in the collagenic tail of endplate acetylcholinesterase (COLQ) essentially associated with autosomal recessive inheritance.With the lowered cost of genetic testing and increased access to next-generation sequencing, many mutations have been reported to date. In this study we identified the first COLQ homozygous mutation c.1193T>A in the North African population. This study outlines the genetic and phenotypic features of a CMS patient in a Moroccan family. It also describes a novel COLQ missense mutation associated with CMS-5. COLQ mutations are probably underdiagnosed in these North African populations, this is an issue as CMS-5 may be treated with ephedrine, and albuterol. Indeed, patients can seriously benefit and even recover after the treatment that should be planned according to genetic tests and clinical findings.

Allele Variation

This article aims to take stock of knowledge on the history of the human settlement of North Africa and the genetic history of Algerians within North African populations by gathering the most important published results related to HLA allele analysis. These results revealed a strong genetic relationship between studied North African populations (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). Such evident genetic affinity between North African populations, also proved by the use of other powerful autosomal markers, agrees with historic data considering North African populations as having similar origins. HLA allele analysis also indicated a genetic link between North African populations (Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco) and the populations of the South-Western Europe particularly the Basques and Spaniards. This would reflect a Neolithic relationship between Iberians and the natives of North Africa (the Berbers). However, other results showed a genetic distinction between samples from North African populations and Middle Eastern populations (Arab-Palestinians, Lebanese’s and Jordanians). Beside these results related to Mediterranean populations, the HLA allele variation was analyzed at the world scale showing low genetic differentiations among the three broad continental areas, with no special divergence of Africa.
