      CNVs-microRNAs interactions demonstrate unique characteristics in the human genome. An interspecies in silico analysis 

      Dweep, H.; Georgiou, G. D.; Gretz, N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Felekkis, Kyriacos N. (2013)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and copy number variations (CNVs) represent two classes of newly discovered genomic elements that were shown to contribute to genome plasticity and evolution. Recent studies demonstrated that miRNAs and ...

      Evidence for activation of the unfolded protein response in collagen iv nephropathies 

      Pieri, Myrtani; Stefanou, Charalambos; Zaravinos, Apostolos; Erguler, K.; Stylianou, Konstantinos G.; Lapathitis, Georgios; Karaiskos, Christos; Savva, Isavella; Paraskeva, Revekka; Dweep, H.; Sticht, C.; Anastasiadou, Natassa; Zouvani, Ioanna; Goumenos, Dimitrios S.; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Saleem, M.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Gretz, N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2014)
      Thin-basement-membrane nephropathy (TBMN) and Alport syndrome (AS) are progressive collagen IV nephropathies caused by mutations in COL4A3/A4/A5 genes. These nephropathies invariably present with microscopic hematuria and ...

      Increased number of MicroRNA target sites in genes encoded in CNV regions. Evidence for an evolutionary genomic interaction 

      Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Dweep, H.; Sticht, C.; Gretz, N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2011)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and copy number variations (CNVs) are two newly discovered genetic elements that have revolutionized the field of molecular biology and genetics. By performing in silico whole genome analysis, we demonstrate ...

      A miR-1207-5p binding site polymorphism abolishes regulation of HBEGF and is associated with disease severity in CFHR5 nephropathy 

      Papagregoriou, Gregory N.; Erguler, K.; Dweep, H.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Koupepidou, P.; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Pierides, Alkis M.; Gretz, N.; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2012)
      Heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HBEGF) is expressed in podocytes and was shown to play a role in glomerular physiology. MicroRNA binding sites on the 3′UTR of HBEGF were predicted using miRWalk algorithm and ...
