Association of maternal angiotensin II type 1 and type 2 receptor combination genotypes with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia
(2022)Allelic variations affecting the activity of the maternal renin-angiotensin system may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form, and intrauterine ... -
Association of maternal Toll-like receptor-4 alleles with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia in central Greece
(2019)Introduction: Altered maternal inflammatory responses may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form and intrauterine growth restriction. We ... -
Association of miR-144 levels in the peripheral blood with COVID-19 severity and mortality
(2022)Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) can be asymptomatic or lead to a wide symptom spectrum, including multi-organ damage and death. Here, we explored the potential of microRNAs in delineating patient condition and predicting ... -
Association of p16 (CDKN2A) polymorphisms with the development of HPV16-related precancerous lesions and cervical cancer in the Greek population
(2018)The tumor suppressor protein p16 plays a fundamental role in cell cycle regulation and exerts a protective effect against tumor growth. Two different polymorphisms at positions 540 and 580 at the 3′UTR of exon 3 of p16 ... -
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene polymorphism (-308) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome
(2012)Background and Aim: Elevated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration and a polymorphism of the TNF-alpha gene at the position -308 in the promoter region are associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea ... -
Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Serum Vitamin D Levels in a Greek Rural Population (Velestino Study)
(2021)Background/Aim: An alarming increase in vitamin D deficiency even in sunny regions highlights the need for a better understanding of the genetic background of the vitamin D endocrine system and the molecular mechanisms of ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Sex Steroid Levels and Body Fat Content in Men
(2012)Objective: Estrogens play an important role in male physiology. We investigated the possible association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in Estrogen Receptor alpha (ESR1) and Estrogen Receptor beta (ESR2) genes ... -
AtHESPERIN: A novel regulator of circadian rhythms with poly(A)-degrading activity in plants
(2016)We report the identification and characterization of a novel gene, AtHesperin (AtHESP) that codes for a deadenylase in Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene is under circadian clock-gene regulation and has similarity to the ... -
Autoinflammatory syndromes with coexisting variants in Mediterranean FeVer and other genes: Utility of multiple gene screening and the possible impact of gene dosage
(2022)Objective: To assess the possible impact conferred by co-existing variants in MEditerranean FeVer (MEFV) and other genes on systemic autoinflammatory disease (SAID) phenotype. Methods: Consecutive patients (n = 42) who ... -
The autophagic response to oxidative stress in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is deregulated
(2018)It has been reported that oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) and that defective autophagy is accompanying this age-related disease. Moreover, it has been proposed that induction ... -
B Cells and COVID-19: Lessons From Patients With Agammaglobulinemia and the Study of Functional B-Cell Polymorphisms
(2022)[No abstract available] -
Bacterial and archaeal phylotypes associated with distinct mineralogical layers of a white smoker spire from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent site (9°N, East Pacific Rise)
(2006)A diffusely venting chimney spire from the East Pacific Rise (9°N) was analysed by petrographic thin sectioning and 16S rRNA gene cloning and sequencing in parallel, to correlate microbial community composition with ... -
Bacterial communities and potential spoilage markers of whole blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) stored under commercial simulated conditions
(2019)Bacterial communities composition using 16S Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) profile of whole blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) stored at 4 and 10 °C (proper and abuse temperature) ... -
A BAFF Receptor His159Tyr Mutation in Sjögren’s Syndrome-Related Lymphoproliferation
(2015)Objective. To study the prevalence, clinical associations, and functional implications of the His159Tyr mutation of the BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Methods. The BAFF-R His159Tyr mutation ... -
BAFF receptor polymorphisms and deficiency in humans
(2021)The BAFF-receptor (BAFFR) is a member of the TNF-receptor family. It is expressed only by B cells and binds BAFF as single ligand, which activates key signaling pathways regulating essential cellular functions, including ... -
Barcoding High Resolution Melting (Bar-HRM) enables the discrimination between toxic plants and edible vegetables prior to consumption and after digestion
(2022)Abstract: The consumption of poisonous plants can lead to serious health problems or even casualties due to various factors, including easy access to poisonous plants due to their common distribution, co-occurrence and ... -
Bayesian estimation of sensitivity and specificity of a PCR method to detect Coxiella burnetii in milk and vaginal secretions in sheep and goat samples
(2019)Coxiella burnetii is a gram-negative and polymorphic rod bacterium that causes Q fever, a common zoonotic disease distributed worldwide. Widespread occurrences of the disease outbreaks indicate the importance of coordinated ... -
BDNF rs6265 (Val66Met) Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Blepharospasm
