Gilbert Syndrome as a Predisposing Factor for Cholelithiasis Risk in the Greek Adult Population
(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, ...
Genetic polymorphisms in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene and prostate cancer risk in Caucasian men
(2010)
Background: Catechol-estrogen metabolites can induce carcinogenesis by acting as endogenous tumor initiators. Glucuronidation, mediated by the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) enzyme, is a main metabolic pathway ...
Lack of association between the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene polymorphism and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in Caucasian men
(2013)
Glucuronidation, mediated by the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) enzyme, is an important metabolic process during which steroids are converted to more easily excreted compounds in steroid target tissues, such as ...
Genetic Polymorphisms in the UGT1A1 gene and breast cancer risk in Greek women
(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 ...
Absence of linkage to chromosomes 6q and 16p in a Greek population with knee osteoarthritis
(2006)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related debilitating disease of the joints characterized by degeneration of the articular cartilage which leads to joint pain, discomfort, and immobility. Several risk factors have been ...
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer
(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 ...
Steroid hormones polymorphisms and cholelithiasis in Greek population
(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 ...
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta, and androgen receptor genes with knee osteoarthritis
(2005)
Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). To elucidate the possible role of genetic variation in the estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ER-alpha, ER-beta) and androgen ...
Interleukin-10G and interleukin-10R microsatellite polymorphisms and osteoarthritis of the knee
(2005)
Objective To clarify and evaluate the possible role of interleukin-10G (IL-10G) and interleukin-10R (IL-10R) microsatellite polymorphisms of IL-10 gene in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods This was a case-control study. ...
