OBJECTIVE: Genetic factors are important determinants of osteoarthritis (OA) but most individual genetic associations appear relatively modest. We aimed to answer whether carrying several genetic variants associated with knee OA could result in a greater risk of OA. METHODS: Genotypes for 36 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 17 candidate genes previously associated with OA were analysed in 298 men and 305...
