Outcomes of the premarital screening program in Riyadh Region, KSA in 2021–2022: A cross-sectional study
Our findings highlight the importance of ongoing surveillance and intervention efforts through programs such as premarital screening and genetic counseling programs. These initiatives are crucial for identifying at-risk individuals and reducing the burden of genetic disorders and infectious diseases with targeted public health strategies. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to monitor trends and assess the long-term impact of preventive measures on disease prevalence and distribution in the region.
