Kusimudzira tsvakiridzo yechirwere cheParkinson muAfrica: Chirongwa chekudzidzisa cheGlobal Parkinson's Genetics Chirongwa (GP2)
Kuwanda kwechirwere cheParkinson (PD) kuri kuramba kuchiwedzera mukondinendi yeAfrica. Nekudaro, huwandu hwevanhu vemuAfrica vanoramba vari pakati pevakanyanya kumiririrwa mukutsvagisa kwePD. Kusiyana uku hakungodzikisi mukana wekusimudzira kunzwisisa kwePD asiwo kunotadzisa kuvandudzwa kwemamwe marapirwo emunhu uye anoshanda kune vanhu vane PD mudunhu reAfrica.
Chinyorwa chedu chinoburitsa matambudziko chaiwo anosanganikwa nawo neAfrican neurologists nemasainzi pakuita PD genetic research pakondinendi. Pakati pezvipingamupinyi zvinonyanya kukosha ndeye kusagadzikana uye kukanganisa kunoramba kuripo mukati mehurongwa hwekuchengetedza hutano, kushomeka kwenyanzvi dzezveuropiyo uye neuroscience (zvichiwedzera kupa kune izvo zvinowanzonzi Africa's "brain drain"), kusanzwisisa uye zvitendero zvetsika zvinokanganisa kutora vatori vechikamu, uye mashoma bioinformatics infrastructure uye genomic research capacity.
Kunyangwe zvipingamupinyi izvi, chinyorwa chedu chinosimbisa kuti kuvimbisa kuedza kwepasirese kuri kuitika kuwedzera tsvakiridzo dzakasiyana nekuvandudza mamiriro ePD yekutsvaga muAfrica.
Global Parkinson's Genetics Program (GP2) chimwe chirongwa chakadai, chiri kuita basa rakakosha mukusimudzira kubatanidzwa kwetsvakiridzo nekudyidzana. Isu tinotsanangura kuti GP2 inotsigira sei PD kutsvagisa muAfrica nekupa zviwanikwa zvinodikanwa zvakanyanya, zvinosanganisira genotyping uye kutevedzana kweAfrica cohorts, pamwe nekupa kudzidziswa nekuvaka-simba munzvimbo dzese dzepasirese.
Kubva munaGunyana 2024, nyika gumi neina dzeAfrica dzakapa samples kuGP14. Chirongwa ichi chinotarisira kutora huwandu hwevarwere ve2 vane PD, 10,450 hutano hunodzora, uye makumi maviri nenhatu vasina kukanganiswa nhengo dzemhuri kana varwere vane atypical parkinsonism kubva kuAfrica cohorts.
Pamusoro pezvikamu zvekutsvagisa, kudzidziswa kweGP2 uye hurongwa hwekuvaka-simba kwakakosha pakugadzirisa gaka reruzivo mudunhu. Chinangwa chikuru chechirongwa chekudzidzisa ichi ndechekutsigira kuchengetwa kwemasaenzi emunharaunda, kukurudzira kugarika kwenguva refu, uye kuve nechokwadi chekuita kwechigarire pakutsvaga nekuvandudza munharaunda. Chirongwa ichi chinopa huwandu hwemikana yekudzidziswa, kubva kumakosi mapfupi kusvika kune ekudzidzisa masabata. Semuyenzaniso, Bioinformatics Training Workshop muMorocco munaNovember 11-12, 2024, yakakwevera gumi kubva kunyika 10 dzakasiyana dzeAfrica. Pamusoro pezvo, Musangano weGP8 Dunhu reVaongorori muMorocco mazuva maviri gare gare wakaunza pamwechete vakapinda zana nemakumi maviri nevatatu kubva kunyika makumi matatu neimwe dzakasiyana, zvichiratidza kufambira mberi kwakakura kwakaitwa mukutsvaga kwePD, kunyanya muAfrica.
Ichi chinyorwa chinoshanda semuenzaniso wakasimba wekushanda pamwe kweGP2, kuunza pamwe njere kubva kune vese vekutanga-basa vatsvagiri uye nevanoongorora vakuru vane ruzivo. Inotaridza kukosha kwekuenderera mberi kwekubatana uye kudzidziswa sezvinhu zvakakosha zvekusimudzira PD kutsvagisa muAfrica. Kuti uwane rumwe ruzivo nezve GP2 uye yerunyorwa ruzere rwevabatsiri, shanya https://gp2.org.
