Lack of association between the platelet glycoprotein Ia C807T gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis
(2007)Background: The platelet-collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) la/lla plays a crucial role in the adhesion of platelets to fibrillar collagen, an event contributing to the pathogenesis of thrombosis. The C807T polymorphism ...

A method for meta-analysis of case-control genetic association studies using logistic regression
(2007)We propose here a simple and robust approach for meta-analysis of molecular association studies. Making use of the binary structure of the data, and by treating the genotypes as independent variables in a logistic regression, ...

Mutation in a gene for type I procollagen (COL1A2) in a woman with postmenopausal osteoporosis: Evidence for phenotypic and genotypic overlap with mild osteogenesis imperfecta
(1991)Mutations in the two genes for type I collagen (COL1A1 or COL1A2) cause osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a heritable disease characterized by moderate to extreme brittleness of bone early in life. Here we show that a 52-year-old ...

No evidence for association of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms with the risk of developing multiple sclerosis: A meta-analysis
(2007)We conducted a meta-analysis concerning the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene polymorphisms with the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). We identified 18 eligible studies ...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G/5G polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis
(2007)This study investigated the hypothesis that the insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 gene affects the risk for ischemic stroke, since results concerning this association ...

A polymorphism in the regulatory region of the CC-chemokine receptor 5 gene influences perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 to African-American infants
(1999)There are natural mutations in the coding and noncoding regions of the human immunodeficiency virus type (HIV-1) CC-chemokine coreceptor 5 (CCR5) and in the related CCR2 protein (the CCR2-64I mutation). Individuals homozygous ...

Serous papillary peritoneal carcinoma: Unknown primary tumour, ovarian cancer counterpart or a distinct entity? A systematic review
(2010)Introduction: Serous peritoneal papillary carcinoma (SPPC), though managed according to ovarian cancer therapeutic principles, has been variably considered as an ovarian cancer counterpart, a peritoneal malignancy with ...
