Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that genotypic variation in the gene which encodes the matrilin-1 (MATN-1) protein may be involved in the development of hip osteoarthritis (OA). We compared genotype frequencies of the MATN-1 gene (1p35) in patients with OA and controls to determine if there is any association between the MATN-1 genotype and OA. METHODS: 73 OA patients and 53 controls from a rheumatology...
