• BDNF tagging polymorphisms and haplotype analysis in sporadic Parkinson's disease in diverse ethnic groups 

      Xiromerisiou, G.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Eerola, J.; Fernandez, H. H.; Tsimourtou, V.; Mandel, R.; Hellstrom, O.; Gwinn-Hardy, K.; Okun, M. S.; Tienari, P. J.; Singleton, A. B. (2007)
      Experimental and clinical data suggest that genetic variations in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene may affect risk for Parkinson's disease (PD). We performed a case-control association analysis of BDNF in three ...
    • Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism as a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis 

      Zintzaras, E.; Uhlig, K.; Koukoulis, G. N.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Stefanidis, I. (2007)
      Investigations into the association between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism in several case-control studies has yielded contradictory results. To shed light on these inconclusive findings, a ...
    • The role of MTHFR gene in multiple myeloma 

      Zintzaras, E.; Giannouli, S.; Rodopoulou, P.; Voulgarelis, M. (2008)
      Case-control studies investigating associations between multiple myeloma (MM) and the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) have provided controversial results. In an attempt to ...
    • Trends in meta-analysis of genetic association studies 

      Zintzaras, E.; Lau, J. (2008)
      The number of published genetic association studies (GASs) is increasing tremendously due to the availability of mapped single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and advances in genotyping technologies. A search in HuGENet ...
