Journal ArticleDOI
Hematological findings and complications of COVID-19.
Evangelos Terpos,Ioannis Ntanasis-Stathopoulos,Ismail Elalamy,Efstathios Kastritis,Theodoros N. Sergentanis,Marianna Politou,Theodora Psaltopoulou,Grigoris T. Gerotziafas,Meletios A. Dimopoulos +8 more
TL;DR: COVID‐19 infected patients, whether hospitalized or ambulatory, are at high risk for venous thromboembolism, and an early and prolonged pharmacological thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin is highly recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in HFE2 cause iron overload in chromosome 1q-linked juvenile hemochromatosis.
George Papanikolaou,Mark E. Samuels,Erwin H. Ludwig,Marcia L.E. MacDonald,Patrick Franchini,Marie-Pierre Dubé,Lisa Andres,Julie MacFarlane,Nikos Sakellaropoulos,Marianna Politou,Elizabeta Nemeth,Jay Thompson,Jenni Risler,Catherine Zaborowska,Ryan Babakaiff,C Radomski,Terry D Pape,Owen Davidas,John Christakis,Pierre Brissot,Gillian Lockitch,Tomas Ganz,Michael R. Hayden,Y. Paul Goldberg +23 more
TL;DR: The positional cloning of the locus associated with juvenile hemochromatosis is reported and the identification of a new gene crucial to iron metabolism is identified, now called HFE2, whose protein product the authors call hemojuvelin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutant antimicrobial peptide hepcidin is associated with severe juvenile hemochromatosis.
Antonella Roetto,George Papanikolaou,Marianna Politou,Federica Alberti,Domenico Girelli,John Christakis,Dimitris Loukopoulos,Clara Camaschella +7 more
TL;DR: Animal models indicate that the antimicrobial peptide hepcidin (HAMP; OMIM 606464) is probably a key regulator of iron absorption in mammals and two mutations in HAMP on 19q13 in two families with a new type of juvenile hemochromatosis are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand-osteoprotegerin ratio predicts survival in multiple myeloma: proposal for a novel prognostic index

Apperley,Evdoxia Hatjiharissi,Evdoxia Hatjiharissi,Marianna Politou,Marianna Politou,John Meletis,John Meletis,Nora Viniou,Nora Viniou,Xenophon Yataganas,Xenophon Yataganas,John M. Goldman,John M.

TL;DR: Results confirm for the first time in humans the importance of sRANKL/OPG in the development of bone disease and highlight the role of this pathway in the biology of plasma cell growth as reflected by its influence on survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum levels of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1α) correlate with the extent of bone disease and survival in patients with multiple myeloma
Evangelos Terpos,Marianna Politou,Richard Szydlo,John M. Goldman,Jane F. Apperley,Amin Rahemtulla +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that MIP‐1α contributes to the pathogenesis of bone disease in MM and possibly in tumour growth, as reflected by its impact on survival.
