Asporin and knee osteoarthritis in patients of Greek origin
Kaliakatsos, M.; Tzetis, M.; Kanavakis, E.; Fytili, P.; Chouliaras, G.; Karachalios, T.; Malizos, K.; Tsezou, A. (2006)Ostearthritis (OA) is characterized by focal areas of loss of the articular cartilage in synovial joints, associated with varying degrees of osteophyte formation, subchondral bone change and synovitis. The Asporin (ASPN) ... -
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer
Tsezou, A.; Tzetis, M.; Gennatas, C.; Giannatou, E.; Pampanos, A.; Malamis, G.; Kanavakis, E.; Kitsiou, S. (2008)Genetic variation in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in breast cancer. To determine the possible contribution of genetic variation in the ESR1 ... -
Association of the CALM1 core promoter polymorphism with knee osteoarthritis in patients of Greek origin
Poulou, M.; Kaliakatsos, M.; Tsezou, A.; Kanavakis, E.; Malizos, K. N.; Tzetis, M. (2008)Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by focal areas of loss of articular cartilage in synovial joints, associated with varying degrees of osteophyte formation, subchondral bone change, and synovitis. The Calmodulin ... -
Clinical and molecular description of a fetus in prenatal diagnosis with a rare de novo ring 10 and deletions of 12.59 Mb in 10p15.3-p14 and 4.22 Mb in 10q26.3
Christopoulou, G.; Tzetis, M.; Konstantinidou, A. E.; Tsezou, A.; Kanavakis, E.; Kitsiou-Tzeli, S.; Velissariou, V. (2012)Ring chromosomes are rare cytogenetic findings and are mostly associated with an abnormal phenotype. We report on the prenatal diagnosis of a ring chromosome 10 in a fetus in which talipes equinovarus was incidentally found ... -
Contribution of the CFTR gene, the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor gene (SPINK1) and the cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) to the etiology of recurrent pancreatitis
Tzetis, M.; Kaliakatsos, M.; Fotoulaki, B.; Papatheodorou, A.; Doudounakis, S.; Tsezou, A.; Makrythanasis, P.; Kanavakis, E.; Nousia-arvanitakis, S. (2007)Acute recurrent/chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a complex multigenic disease. This is a case-control study consisting of 25 Greek patients with CP and a control population of 236 healthy Greek subjects. The whole coding area ... -
Genetic Polymorphisms in the UGT1A1 gene and breast cancer risk in Greek women
Tsezou, A.; Tzetis, M.; Giannatou, E.; Gennatas, C.; Pampanos, A.; Kanavakis, E.; Kitsiou-Tzeli, S. (2007)Uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (UGT1A1) is involved in estradiol glucuronidation, which may play a central role in the etiology of breast cancer. A common insertion/ deletion polymorphism in the TATAA-box of ... -
Gilbert Syndrome as a Predisposing Factor for Cholelithiasis Risk in the Greek Adult Population
Tsezou, A.; Tzetis, M.; Giannatou, E.; Spanos, I.; Roma, E.; Fretzayas, A.; Kanavakis, E.; Kitsiou-Tzeli, S. (2009)We investigated the hypothesis that coinheritance of the common A(TA)(n)TAA promoter mutation at the UGT1A1 locus associated with Gilbert syndrome is a risk factor for gallstone formation in a homogeneous adult population, ... -
Gilbert's syndrome as a predisposing factor for idiopathic cholelithiasis in children
Kitsiou-Tzeli, S.; Kanavakis, E.; Tzetis, M.; Kavazarakis, E.; Galla, A.; Tsezou, A. (2003) -
Meta-analysis of association between the ASPN D-repeat and osteoarthritis
Nakamura, T.; Shi, D.; Tzetis, M.; Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Miyamoto, Y.; Tsezou, A.; Gonzalez, A.; Jiang, Q.; Kamatani, N.; Loughlin, J.; Ikegawa, S. (2007)Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of human arthritis. Genetic factors have been implicated in OA. It was reported that an aspartic acid (D)-repeat polymorphism in the gene encoding asporin (ASPN) was associated ... -
Steroid hormones polymorphisms and cholelithiasis in Greek population
Kitsiou-Tzeli, S.; Giannatou, E.; Spanos, I.; Nicolaidou, P.; Fretzayas, A.; Tzetis, M.; Lazaris, D.; Kanavakis, E.; Tsezou, A. (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 ...
