      Sokratous M., Lucia S., Bourinaris T., Marogianni C., Arnaoutoglou M., Patrikiou E., Ralli S., Markou A., Dardiotis E., Houlden H., Hadjigeorgiou G.M., Xiromerisiou G. (2020)
      A total of 178 consecutive patients with definite sALS without frontotemporal dementia (FTD) were enrolled in this study, after complete clinical evaluation. A Repeat-Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (RP-PCR) protocol was ...
    • The role of C9orf72 in neurodegenerative disorders: a systematic review, an updated meta-analysis, and the creation of an online database 

      Marogianni C., Rikos D., Provatas A., Dadouli K., Ntellas P., Tsitsi P., Patrinos G., Dardiotis E., Hadjigeorgiou G., Xiromerisiou G. (2019)
      A pathologic expansion of a noncoding GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat of the C9orf72 gene has been strongly associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) cases predominantly ...
    • Screening for the C9orf72 expansion in Greek huntington disease phenocopies and controls and meta-analysis of current data 

      Rikos D., Marogianni C., Provatas A., Bourinaris T., Arnaoutoglou M., Stathis P., Patrinos G.P., Dardiotis E., Hadjigeorgiou G.M., Xiromerisiou G. (2020)
      Background: Several European studies examined the role of C9orf72 repeat expansion in patients with Huntington-disease like phenotypes (HD-L). The scope of our study is to investigate the expansion frequency in a Greek ...
    • Unexpected similarities between C9ORF72 and sporadic forms of ALS/FTD suggest a common disease mechanism
