      Tsezou, A.; Karachalios, T.; Fytili, P.; Giannatou, E.; Christodoulou, K.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Malizos, K. N. (2006)
      Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related debilitating disease of the joints characterized by degeneration of the articular cartilage which leads to joint pain, discomfort, and immobility. Several risk factors have been ...

    • Association of a BMP5 microsatellite with knee osteoarthritis: case-control study 

      Rodriguez-Fontenla, C.; Carr, A.; Gomez-Reino, J. J.; Tsezou, A.; Loughlin, J.; Gonzalez, A. (2012)
      Introduction: We aimed to explore the involvement of a multiallelic functional polymorphism in knee osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility as a prototype of possible genetic factors escaping GWAS detection. Methods: OA patients ...
    • Family-based association study of the loci 2 and 3 in a European restless legs syndrome population 

      Kemlink, D.; Polo, O.; Montagna, P.; Provini, F.; Stiasny-Kolster, K.; Oertel, W.; de Weerd, A.; Nevsimalova, S.; Sonka, K.; Hogl, B.; Frauscher, B.; Poewe, W.; Trenkwalder, C.; Pramstaller, P. P.; Ferini-Strambi, L.; Zucconi, M.; Konofal, E.; Arnulf, I.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Happe, S.; Klein, C.; Hiller, A.; Lichtner, P.; Meitinger, T.; Muller-Myshok, B.; Winkelmann, J. (2007)
      Three loci for the restless legs syndrome (RLS) on chromosomes 12q, 14q, and 9p (RLS 1, RLS2, and RLS3) have been mapped, but no gene has been identified as yet. RLS1 has been confirmed in families from three different ...
    • Genetics of restless legs syndrome (RLS): State-of-the-art and future directions 

      Winkelmann, J.; Polo, O.; Provini, F.; Nevsimalova, S.; Kemlink, D.; Sonka, K.; Hogl, B.; Poewe, W.; Stiasny-Kolster, K.; Oertel, W.; de Weerd, A.; Strambi, L. F.; Zucconi, M.; Pramstaller, P. P.; Arnulf, I.; Trenkwalder, C.; Klein, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Happe, S.; Rye, D.; Montagna, P. (2007)
      Several studies demonstrated that 60% of restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients have a positive family history and it has been suggested that RLS is a highly hereditary trait. To date, several loci have been mapped but no ...
    • Osteoarthritis Year in Review 2014: genetics and genomics 

      Tsezou, A. (2014)
      Recent developments in genetics/genomics of osteoarthritis (OA) are discussed to improve our understanding of OA pathophysiology. The discovery of a novel variant near the NCOA3 (nuclear receptor coactivator 3) gene ...
