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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
