Matthaios Speletas,K Arvanitidi,D Tzoanopoulos,Victoria Tsironidou,E Pardali,C Aggeli,Panagiotis Tsapogas,Georgios Kartalis,Paschalis Sideras,Konstantinos Ritis +9 more
TL;DR: This reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)/NIRCA protocol can allow the study of this proto-oncogene in every day clinical practice, rapidly facilitating the validation of the diagnostic and prognostic value of N-ras mutational analyses in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast and reliable mutation detection of the complete exon 11-15 JAK2 coding region using non-isotopic RNase cleavage assay (NIRCA).
Konstantinos Kambas,Ioannis Mitroulis,Ioannis Kourtzelis,Akrivi Chrysanthopoulou,Matthaios Speletas,Konstantinos Ritis +5 more
TL;DR: This work applied the non‐isotopic RNase cleavage assay to the screening for JAK2 V617F mutation in patients with polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and idiopathic myelofibrosis and confirmed the accuracy of the method, which can be applied in any laboratory without the requirement of specific sophisticated equipment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple sclerosis in a patient with cryopyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndrome: Evidence that autoinflammation is the common link
Charalampos Papagoras,Vasiliki Lampropoulou,Eleni Mavraki,Akrivi Chrysanthopoulou,Savas Deftereos,Juan I. Aróstegui,Panagiotis Skendros,Konstantinos Ritis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the case of a man with symptoms of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) since infancy who later developed multiple sclerosis (MS) and show that the inhibition of interleukin-1 (IL-1) with anakinra led to a swift resolution of the CAPS symptoms and also, in combination with teriflunomide, to a clinical and imaging improvement of MS.
