Association of maternal angiotensin II type 1 and type 2 receptor combination genotypes with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia
(2022)Allelic variations affecting the activity of the maternal renin-angiotensin system may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form, and intrauterine ... -
Association of maternal Toll-like receptor-4 alleles with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia in central Greece
(2019)Introduction: Altered maternal inflammatory responses may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form and intrauterine growth restriction. We ... -
Association of p16 (CDKN2A) polymorphisms with the development of HPV16-related precancerous lesions and cervical cancer in the Greek population
(2018)The tumor suppressor protein p16 plays a fundamental role in cell cycle regulation and exerts a protective effect against tumor growth. Two different polymorphisms at positions 540 and 580 at the 3′UTR of exon 3 of p16 ... -
Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Serum Vitamin D Levels in a Greek Rural Population (Velestino Study)
(2021)Background/Aim: An alarming increase in vitamin D deficiency even in sunny regions highlights the need for a better understanding of the genetic background of the vitamin D endocrine system and the molecular mechanisms of ... -
Autism spectrum disorder, anxiety and severe depression in a male patient with deletion and duplication in the 21q22.3 region: A case report
(2019)In this report, a patient carrying a 650 kb deletion and a 759 kb duplication of chromosomal 21q22.3 region was described. Facial dysmorphic features, hypotonia, short stature, learning impairment, autism spectrum disorder, ... -
BDNF rs6265 (Val66Met) Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Blepharospasm
(2019)A few genetic variants are implicated in the development of blepharospasm (BSP). The precise role of the rs6265 on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene on BSP remains controversial. The effect of rs6265 on BSP ... -
Clinical and pathological responses of pigs from two genetically diverse commercial lines to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(2009)The response to infection from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) for 2 genetically diverse commercial pig lines was investigated. Seventy-two pigs from each line, aged 6 wk, were challenged with ... -
CYP1A2 rs762551 and ADORA2A rs5760423 Polymorphisms in Patients with Blepharospasm
(2020)Blepharospasm (BSP) is a neurological movement disorder. Coffee consumption has been found to have a protective effect against BSP. BSP and apraxia of eyelid opening are particularly common among patients with PD. The ... -
Dairy Intake and Parkinson's Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study
(2022)Background: Previous prospective studies highlighted dairy intake as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in men. It is unclear whether this association is causal or explained by reverse causation or ... -
Deciphering the role of DNA methylation in multiple sclerosis: emerging issues
(2016)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that involves several not yet fully elucidated pathophysiologic mechanisms. There is increasing evidence ... -

Evidence That HFE H63D Variant Is a Potential Disease Modifier in Cluster Headache
(2022)Cluster headache (CH) is a primary headache disorder with a complex genetic background. Several studies indicate a potential link between iron homeostasis and the pathophysiology of primary headaches. The HFE gene encodes ... -
A familial concurrence of schizophrenia and Gaucher's disease
(2007)Background: Gaucher's disease (GD) is the most frequently encountered lysosomal storage disease. Here, we describe and discuss the observed concurrence of schizophrenia and Gaucher's disease in two siblings. Methods: ... -
Genetic contribution of MHC class II genes in susceptibility to west nile virus infection
(2016)WNV is a zoonotic neurotropic flavivirus that has recently emerged globally as a significant cause of viral encephalitis. The last five years, 624 incidents of WNV infection have been reported in Greece. The risk for severe ... -
Genetic risk factors for essential tremor: A review
