Zintzaras, E.; Koufakis, T.; Ziakas, P. D.; Rodopoulou, P.; Giannouli, S.; Voulgarelis, M. (2006)A meta-analysis of case-control studies that investigated the association between the C677T and/or A1298C polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was ... -
Monitoring serum chondroitin sulfate levels in patients submitted to coronary artery bypass surgery
Karangelis, D.; Asimakopoulou, A.; Kanakis, I.; Tagarakis, G. I.; Koufakis, T.; Triposkiadis, F.; Tsilimingas, N.; Karamanos, N. K. (2011)Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are functionally important molecules of the arterial wall and play a crucial role in atherogenesis. Chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate proteoglycans (CS/DSPGs) participate in several biological ... -
Synopsis and meta-analysis of genetic association studies in osteoporosis for the focal adhesion family genes: the CUMAGAS-OSTEOporosis information system
Zintzaras, E.; Doxani, C.; Koufakis, T.; Kastanis, A.; Rodopoulou, P.; Karachalios, T. (2011)Background: Focal adhesion (FA) family genes have been studied as candidate genes for osteoporosis, but the results of genetic association studies (GASs) are controversial. To clarify these data, a systematic assessment ... -
