Abstract excerpt
The G-protein Galphas is involved in the physiology and pathophysiology of bone. Especially, Galphas is a key regulator of interleukin-6, which is a potent promoter of aseptic loosening. We hypothesized that the common single nucleotide polymorphism GNAS1 T393C could also affect time to aseptic loosening. Caucasian patients were genotyped for the GNAS1 T393C polymorphism. Time and median time to aseptic loosening...
