Association of a BMP5 microsatellite with knee osteoarthritis: case-control study
(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 ... -
Association of renin-angiotensin system and natriuretic peptide receptor A gene polymorphisms with hypertension in a Hellenic population
(2008)Introduction. Hypertension results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Since the renin-angiotensin and the natriuretic peptide systems contribute to blood pressure regulation, variations in the ... -
Detection of microsatellite instability in sporadic cardiac myxomas
(1999)Objective: Microsatellite instability (MIN) is an early event in DNA repair-deficient associated diseases and reflects an elevated mutation rate in the genome of neoplastic cells. Sporadic cardiac myxomas are the most ... -
Extrachromosomal genetic elements detected in Escherichia coli treated with the antibacterial agents kanamycin and benzenetriol
(2013)Resistance to kanamycin was induced in Escherichia coli cells subjected to gradually increasing concentrations of the amino glycoside antibiotic kanamycin. The frequency of the appearance of resistance is not in agreement ... -
Genetic variation including nonsynonymous polymorphisms of a major aggrecanase, ADAMTS-5, in susceptibility to osteoarthritis
(2008)Objective. Given the recent characterization of ADAMTS-5 as the main aggrecanase of cartilage destruction in mouse models, we explored whether genetic variation and, in particular, putative damaging polymorphisms in the ... -
Highly Dynamic Exon Shuffling in Candidate Pathogen Receptors ... What if Brown Algae Were Capable of Adaptive Immunity?
(2012)Pathogen recognition is the first step of immune reactions. In animals and plants, direct or indirect pathogen recognition is often mediated by a wealth of fast-evolving receptors, many of which contain ligand-binding and ... -
Microsatellite instability in human atherosclerotic plaques
(1996)The aetiopathology of atherosclerosis remains obscure. Although histologically the accumulation of lipids and the proliferation of the smooth muscle cells represents the main feature of the disease, little is known as ... -
Steroid hormones polymorphisms and cholelithiasis in Greek population
(2007)Background: Genetic variation in genes involved in steroid biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in gallstone disease. Methods: To elucidate the possible role of genetic variation ...
