Oral microbiome of Hypertension subjects from Qatar Biobank
Compare and associate oral microbiome of hypertension subjects and healthy controls enrolled at Qatar Biobank. Many of the hypertension subjects were also overweight/obese and diabetic/hyperglycemic. Microbiome diversity and phylogenetic analysis was performed to asses role of microbiome changes on disease severity and pathogenesis. Ninety six oral samples were subjected to DNA extraction and paired -end Illumina MiSeq sequencing.
