      Epistatic Role of the MYH9/APOL1 Region on Familial Hematuria Genes 

      Voskarides, Konstantinos; Demosthenous, Panayiota; Papazachariou, Louiza; Arsali, Maria; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Zavros, Michalis; Stylianou, Konstantinos G.; Xydakis, D.; Daphnis, Eugenios K.; Gale, D. P.; Maxwell, P. H.; Elia, Avraam; Pattaro, C.; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2013)
      Familial hematuria (FH) is explained by at least four different genes (see below). About 50% of patients develop late proteinuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesized that MYH9/APOL1, two closely linked genes ...

      Familial C3 Glomerulopathy Associated with CFHR5 Mutations: Clinical Characteristics of 91 Patients in 16 Pedigrees 

      Athanasiou, Yiannis; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Gale, D. P.; Damianou, Loukas; Patsias, Charalambos; Zavros, Michalis; Maxwell, P. H.; Cook, H. T.; Demosthenous, Panayiota; Hadjisavvas, Andreas; Kyriacou, Kyriacos C.; Zouvani, Ioanna; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2011)
      Background and objectives Complement factor H and related proteins (CFHR) are key regulators of the alternative complement pathway, where loss of function mutations lead to a glomerulopathy with isolated mesangial C3 ...

      A functional variant in NEPH3 gene confers high risk of renal failure in primary hematuric glomerulopathies. Evidence for predisposition to microalbuminuria in the general population 

      Voskarides, Konstantinos; Stefanou, Charalambos; Pieri, Myrtani; Demosthenous, Panayiota; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Arsali, Maria; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Xydakis, D.; Stylianou, Konstantinos G.; Daphnis, Eugenios K.; Goulielmos, George N.; Loizou, P.; Savige, J.; Höhne, M.; Völker, L.

      Background Recent data emphasize that thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) should not be viewed as a form of benign familial hematuria since chronic renal failure (CRF) and even end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a ...

      Identification of a mutation in complement factor H-related protein 5 in patients of Cypriot origin with glomerulonephritis 

      Gale, D. P.; De Jorge, E. G.; Cook, H. T.; Martinez-Barricarte, R.; Hadjisavvas, Andreas; McLean, A. G.; Pusey, C. D.; Pierides, Alkis M.; Kyriacou, Kyriacos C.; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D.; Palmer, A.; De Cordoba, S. R.; Maxwell, P. H.; Pickering, M. C.; Frémeaux-Bacchi, V. (2010)
      Summary Background Complement is a key component of the innate immune system, and variation in genes that regulate its activation is associated with renal and other disease. We aimed to establish the genetic basis for a ...
