APOE gene polymorphisms and response to statin therapy
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G. D.; Triposkiadis, F.; Lau, J.; Raman, G. (2009)Published studies investigating the role of APOE gene on lipid response (total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides) to statin treatment ... -
Field Synopsis and Synthesis of Genetic Association Studies in Osteoarthritis: The CUMAGAS-OSTEO Information System
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G. D.; Ziogas, D. C.; Rodopoulou, P.; Karachalios, T. (2010)A comprehensive and systematic assessment of the current status of genetic association studies (GAS) for osteoarthntis was conducted. Data from 327 GAS involving 187 distinct genetic variants were analyzed and cataloged ... -
Genome-wide association studies: hypothesis-"free" or "engaged"?
Kitsios, G. D.; Zintzaras, E. (2009)The advent of the first wave of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provided a new conceptual framework in the search for variants underlying common disorders: a massive scan of the genome, free from underlying assumptions ... -
Genomic Convergence of Genome-wide Investigations for Complex Traits
Kitsios, G. D.; Zintzaras, E. (2009)Genome-wide investigations for identifying the genes for complex traits are considered to be agnostic in terms of prior assumptions for the responsible DNA alterations. The agreement of genome-wide association studies ... -
Lack of Association Between Common Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Haplotypes and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertension
Kitsios, G. D.; Stefanidis, I.; Zintzaras, E. (2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension-related left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Candidate-gene studies have examined the role of NOS3 variation, but ... -
MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to chemotherapy in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis
Zintzaras, E.; Ziogas, D. C.; Kitsios, G. D.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Lau, J.; Raman, G. (2009)Aims: Pharmacogenetic studies investigating the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer have produced inconclusive results. In an ... -
An NOS3 haplotype is protective against hypertension in a caucasian population
Kitsios, G. D.; Zintzaras, E. (2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been implicated in the development of hypertension, although the specific role of variants and haplotypes has not been clarified. In this study, the association of three ... -
Polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene in breast cancer: a genetic association study and meta-analysis
Zintzaras, E.; Grammatikou, M.; Kitsios, G. D.; Doxani, C.; Zdoukopoulos, N.; Papandreou, C. (2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been proposed as a candidate gene for breast cancer (BC), however, the specific role of variants and haplotypes has not been clarified. We examined the association of ... -
Randomized Trials of Dopamine Agonists in Restless Legs Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Quality Assessment, and Meta-Analysis
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G. D.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Konitsiotis, S.; Miligkos, M.; Rodopoulou, P.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2010)Background: The use of dopamine agonists (DAs) for the treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been assessed in numerous randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the reporting ... -
Synopsis and Data Synthesis of Genetic Association Studies in Hypertension for the Adrenergic Receptor Family Genes: The CUMAGAS-HYPERT Database
Kitsios, G. D.; Zintzaras, E. (2010)BACKGROUND The adrenergic receptor (adrenoceptor) family genes have been extensively studied as candidate genes in hypertension but the results of individual genetic association studies (GAS) are controversial and inconclusive ... -
Synopsis and Synthesis of Candidate-Gene Association Studies in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: The CUMAGAS-CLL Information System
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G. D. (2009)A comprehensive and systematic assessment of the current status of candidate-gene association studies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was conducted. Data from 989 candidate-gene association studies (1992-2009) ... -
XbaI GLUT1 gene polymorphism and the risk of type 2 diabetes with nephropathy
Stefanidis, I.; Kytoudis, K.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Zaragotas, D.; Melistas, L.; Kitsios, G. D.; Yiannakouris, N.; Zintzaras, E. (2009)Altered expression of the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT1 affects pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. There is indication that variation of GLUT1 gene (SLC2A1) contributes to development ...
