      Kerkhof, H. J. M.; Meulenbelt, I.; Carr, A.; Gonzalez, A.; Hart, D.; Hofman, A.; Kloppenburg, M.; Lane, N. E.; Loughlin, J.; Nevitt, M. C.; Pols, H. A. P.; Rivadeneira, F.; Slagboom, E. P.; Spector, T. D.; Stolk, L.; Tsezou, A.; Uitterlinden, A. G.; Valdes, A. M.; van Meurs, J. B. J. (2010)
      Background: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between common genetic variation of the ESR2 gene and osteoarthritis. Methods: In the discovery study, the Rotterdam Study-I, 7 single nucleotide ...
    • Increased gamma-globin gene expression in beta-thalassemia intermedia patients correlates with a mutation in 3'HS1 

      Papachatzopoulou, A.; Kaimakis, P.; Pourfarzad, F.; Menounos, P. G.; Evangelakou, P.; Kollia, P.; Grosveld, F. G.; Patrinos, G. P. (2007)
      We report a novel set of genetic markers in the DNasel hypersensitive sites comprising the human P-globin locus chromatin hub (CH), namely HS-111 and 3'HS1. The HS-111 (-21 G>A) and 3'HS1 (+179 C>T) transitions form CH ...
    • Meta-analysis of association between the ASPN D-repeat and osteoarthritis 

      Nakamura, T.; Shi, D.; Tzetis, M.; Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Miyamoto, Y.; Tsezou, A.; Gonzalez, A.; Jiang, Q.; Kamatani, N.; Loughlin, J.; Ikegawa, S. (2007)
      Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of human arthritis. Genetic factors have been implicated in OA. It was reported that an aspartic acid (D)-repeat polymorphism in the gene encoding asporin (ASPN) was associated ...
