-572 G/C single nucleotide polymorphism of interleukin-6 and sepsis predisposition in chronic renal disease

Panayides A., Ioakeimidou A., Karamouzos V., Antonakos N., Koutelidakis I., Giannikopoulos G., Makaritsis K., Voloudakis N., Toutouzas K., Rovina N., Bristianou M., Damoraki G., Routsi C., Giamarellos-Bourboulis E.J. (2015)

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL)-6 are associated with the development of chronic renal disease (CRD). Their impact for sepsis in the field of CRD was investigated. One control cohort of 115 ...

BDNF rs6265 (Val66Met) Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Blepharospasm

Siokas V., Kardaras D., Aloizou A.-M., Asproudis I., Boboridis K.G., Papageorgiou E., Hadjigeorgiou G.M., Tsironi E.E., Dardiotis E. (2019)

A few genetic variants are implicated in the development of blepharospasm (BSP). The precise role of the rs6265 on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene on BSP remains controversial. The effect of rs6265 on BSP ...

Dna repair gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to urothelial carcinoma in a southeastern european population

Samara M., Papathanassiou M., Mitrakas L., Koukoulis G., Vlachostergios P.J., Tzortzis V. (2021)

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes may predispose to urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). This study focused on three specific SNPs in a population with high exposure to environmental carcinogens ...

Genetic diversity and structure of Rhizobium leguminosarum populations associated with clover plants are influenced by local environmental variables

Stefan A., Van Cauwenberghe J., Rosu C.M., Stedel C., Labrou N.E., Flemetakis E., Efrose R.C. (2018)

The identification and conservation of indigenous rhizobia associated with legume plants and their application as biofertilizers is becoming an agricultural worldwide priority. However, little is known about the genetic ...

Objective: Eleven genetic loci have reached genome-wide significance in a recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in Parkinson disease (PD) based on populations of Caucasian descent. The extent to which ...

Molecular approaches for HPV genotyping and HPV-DNA physical status

Tsakogiannis D., Gartzonika C., Levidiotou-Stefanou S., Markoulatos P. (2017)

Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes is the leading cause of cervical cancer development. To this end several studies have focused on designing molecular assays for HPV genotyping, which ...

Molecular detection of Rickettsia felis in common fleas in Greece and comparative evaluation of genotypic methods

Dougas G., Tsakris A., Billinis C., Beleri S., Patsoula E., Papaparaskevas J. (2021)

Introduction: Rickettsia felis is the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever (FBSF), an emerging zoonosis. Although there is evidence of FBSF in Greece, fleas, the classic vectors of R. felis, have not been adequately ...
