Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors α, β, and androgen receptor genes with knee osteoarthritis
11 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). To elucidate the possible role of genetic variation in the estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ER-alpha, ER-beta) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with knee OA, the -1174(TA)(n), c.1092+3607(CA)(n), and c.172(CAG)(n) repeat polymorphisms of ER-alpha, ER-beta, and AR genes were studied. A case-control cohort of 158...
