Is there evidence to claim or deny association between variants of the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1 or ABCB1) and inflammatory bowel disease?
(2012)Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease with a genetic background. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of IBD. There is indication that variants in the MDR1 ... -
Large-Scale Analysis of Association Between GDF5 and FRZB Variants and Osteoarthritis of the Hip, Knee, and Hand
(2009)Objective. GDF5 and FRZB have been proposed as genetic loci conferring susceptibility to osteoarthritis (OA); however, the results of several studies investigating the association of OA with the rs143383 polymorphism of ... -
A large-scale replication study for the association of rs17039192 in HIF-2 alpha with knee osteoarthritis
(2012)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease with a genetic component for its etiology. Recently, a genetic association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17039192 in HIF-2a with knee OA has been reported in a Japanese ... -
Lower prevalence of epsilon 4 allele of apolipoprotein E gene in healthy, longer-lived individuals of hellenic origin
(2006)Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), and especially its epsilon 4 isoform, is considered a risk factor predisposing to coronary heart disease. We hypothesized that the absence of epsilon 4 allele offers a better chance for longer life. ... -
A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies novel variants associated with osteoarthritis of the hip
(2014)Objectives Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis with a clear genetic component. To identify novel loci associated with hip OA we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on ... -
Mitochondrial DNA variation in northeast atlantic and mediterranean populations of norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus
(2004)Analysis of the genetic structure of the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), a marine crustacean with high commercial value, was undertaken to gain information regarding the differentiation of Atlantic from Mediterranean ... -
Phylogeography of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Europe: a legacy of south-eastern Mediterranean refugia?
(2009)We analysed the population genetics of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in order to test the hypothesis that this species migrated into central Europe from a number of late glacial refugia, including some in Asia Minor. ... -
Potential Role of the Alcohol and Smoking in the Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head And Neck: Review of the Current Literature and New Perspectives
(2011)Alcohol and tobacco are responsible for a very large proportion of chronic disease and some tumors in particular may be the result of interactions between the two risk factors. The present systematic literature review was ...
