• Genome-wide scans meta-analysis for pulse pressure 

      Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G.; Kent, D.; Camp, N. J.; Atwood, L.; Hopkins, P. N.; Hunt, S. C. (2007)
      Genome scans for identifying susceptibility loci for pulse pressure have produced inconclusive results. A heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis was applied to available genome-scan data on pulse pressure. A genome ...
    • Heterogeneity testing in meta-analysis of genome searches 

      Zintzaras, E.; Ioannidis, J. P. A. (2005)
      Genome searches for identifying susceptibility loci for the same complex disease often give inconclusive or inconsistent results. Genome Search Meta-analysis (GSMA) is an established non-parametric method to identify genetic ...
    • A heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis for autism-spectrum disorders 

      Trikalinos, T. A.; Karvouni, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Ylisaukko-oja, T.; Peltonen, L.; Jarvela, I.; Ioannidis, J. P. A. (2006)
      Autism and autism-spectrum disorders exhibit high heritability, although specific susceptibility genes still remain largely elusive. We performed a heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis (HEGESMA) of nine genome ...
    • Identification of chromosomal regions linked to premature myocardial infarction: a meta-analysis of whole-genome searches 

      Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G. (2006)
      Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complication of coronary artery disease and the leading cause of death in the Western world. MI is considered a distinct phenotype with an increased genetic component for its premature type. ...
    • Meta-analysis of genome-wide scans provides evidence for sex- and site-specific regulation of bone mass 

      Ioannidis, J. P. A.; Ng, M. Y.; Sham, P. C.; Zintzaras, E.; Lewis, C. M.; Deng, H. W.; Econs, M. J.; Karasik, D.; Devoto, M.; Kammerer, C. M.; Spector, T.; Andrew, T.; Cupples, L. A.; Duncan, E. L.; Foroud, T.; Kiel, D. P.; Koller, D.; Langdahl, B.; Mitchell, B. D.; Peacock, M.; Recker, R.; Shen, H.; Sol-Church, K.; Spotila, L. D.; Uitterlinden, A. G.; Wilson, S. G.; Kung, A. W. C.; Ralston, S. H. (2007)
      Introduction: BMD is a heritable trait and an important predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk. Several genome-wide scans have been performed in an attempt to detect loci that regulate BMD, but there has been limited ...
