Variants of the Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 but not the Matrix Metalloproteinase...
Manso, H.; Krug, T.; Sobral, J.; Albergaria, I.; Gaspar, G.; Ferro, J.M.; Oliveira, S.A.; Vicente, AM.Multiple lines of evidence suggest that genetic factors contribute to stroke recovery. The matrix metalloproteinases -2 (MMP-2) and -9 (MMP-9) are modulators of extracellular matrix components, with important regulatory functions in the Central Nervous System (CNS). Shortly after stroke, MMP-2 and MMP-9 have mainly damaging effects for brain tissue. However, MMPs also have a beneficial activity in angiogenesis ...
Mitochondrial haplogroup H1 is protective for ischemic stroke in Portuguese pat...
Rosa, A; Fonseca, BV; Krug, T; Manso, H; Gouveia, L; Albergaria, I; Gaspar, G; Correia, M; Viana-Baptista, M; Simões, RM; Pinto, AN; Taipa, RBACKGROUND: The genetic contribution to stroke is well established but it has proven difficult to identify the genes and the disease-associated alleles mediating this effect, possibly because only nuclear genes have been intensely investigated so far. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been implicated in several disorders having stroke as one of its clinical manifestations. The aim of this case-control study was to ...
Kalirin: a novel genetic risk factor for ischemic stroke
Krug, T; Manso, H; Gouveia, L; Sobral, J; Xavier, JM; Albergaria, I; Gaspar, G; Correia, M; Viana-Baptista, M; Simões, RN; Pinto, AN; Taipa, RCerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. They are complex disorders resulting from the interplay of genetic and environmental factors, and may share several susceptibility genes. Several recent studies have implicated variants of the Kalirin (KALRN) gene with susceptibility to cardiovascular and metabolic phenotypes, but no studies have yet been perfo...

Low frequency of CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg in SLE patients: a heritable trait associa...
Barreto, M.; Ferreira, RC.; Lourenço, L.; Moraes-Fontes, MF.; Santos, E.; Alves, M.; Carvalho, C.; Martins, B.; Andreia, R.; Viana, JF.; Vasconcelos, C.Background: CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells play an essential role in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing autoimmunity. Therefore, defects in Treg development, maintenance or function have been associated with several human autoimmune diseases including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by loss of tolerance to nuclear components and significantly more fre...
