D.; Gonzalez, A.; arc, Ogen Consortium (2014)
      Objective. To assess candidate genes for association with osteoarthritis (OA) and identify promising genetic factors and, secondarily, to assess the candidate gene approach in OA. Methods. A total of 199 candidate genes ...
    • Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer 

      Tsezou, A.; Tzetis, M.; Gennatas, C.; Giannatou, E.; Pampanos, A.; Malamis, G.; Kanavakis, E.; Kitsiou, S. (2008)
      Genetic variation in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in breast cancer. To determine the possible contribution of genetic variation in the ESR1 ...
    • THAP1 mutations and dystonia phenotypes: Genotype phenotype correlations 

      Xiromerisiou, G.; Houlden, H.; Scarmeas, N.; Stamelou, M.; Kara, E.; Hardy, J.; Lees, A. J.; Korlipara, P.; Limousin, P.; Paudel, R.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Bhatia, K. P. (2012)
      THAP1 mutations have been shown to be the cause of DYT6. A number of different mutation types and locations in the THAP1 gene have been associated with a range of severity and dystonia phenotypes, but, as yet, it has been ...
