A medical and research team from the Department of pediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine at #King Saud University was able to detect a genetic mutation causing fulminant viral hepatitis due to viral hepatitis A in collaboration with laboratory immunologists from Rockefeller University in New York and Paris Descartes University in France.

The research team, which worked according to the highest scientific standards, showed the benefits of rapid genetic diagnosis of genetic disorders, and the need for people with this mutation to obtain viral hepatitis vaccines to help them, God willing, avoid the dangerous effects of the disease.
Dr. Fahd Al-Suhaim, Dr. Zubaida al-Sam, Dr. Rabie Halwani and Dr. Saleh Al-Mohsen participated from the Faculty of Medicine of King Saud University, and this discovery was published in the scientific journal " Journal of Clinical Immunology ".
