Analysis of SAA1 gene polymorphisms in the Greek population: rheumatoid arthritis and FMF patients relative to normal controls. Homogeneous distribution and low incidence of AA amyloidosis
(2007)Objective. To address whether or not the rarity of amyloidosis in Greek patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to specific alleles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5'-flanking region and the ... -
BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the risk of osteoporosis: A meta-analysis
(2006)A meta-analysis regarding BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and their associations with osteoporosis in females is reported. The meta-analysis involved 14, seven, seven and three ... -
Characterization of novel intergenogroup and intergenotype recombinant noroviruses from central Greece
(2014)Noroviruses (NoVs) are a major causative agent of acute gastroenteritis in humans. They are members of the Caliciviridae family and based on the genetic analysis of the RdRp and capsid regions, human NoVs are divided into ... -
Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and T1 Genes and Susceptibility to Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Meta-Analysis
(2009)Variants of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and T1 (GSTT1) genes have been implicated as risk factors for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the genetic association studies that examined the relation between the ... -
Impact of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium deviation on allele-based risk effect of genetic association studies and meta-analysis
(2010)Deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in control subjects may bias the estimates of genetic effects in genetic association studies (GAS) and meta-analysis. A large empirical evaluation was carried out to evaluate ... -
Interleukin-1B and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms in Greek multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with bout-onset MS
(2010)We investigated the association of specific polymorphisms of the interleukin IL-1b (AvaI -511 and TaqI +3,953) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) (a variable number of tandem repeats; VNTR) genes with both the susceptibility ... -
Response of local and commercial tomato cultivars and rootstocks to Meloidogyne javanica infestation
(2011)Fifty two local Greek tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivars and accessions and ten commercial nematode-resistant tomato cultivars and rootstocks were evaluated under controlled environmental conditions for resistance ... -
Variance estimation of allele-based odds ratio in the absence of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
(2008)In gene-disease association studies, deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in controls may cause bias in estimating the allele-based estimates of genetic effects. An approach to adjust the variance of allele-based odds ...
