Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: One of the recognized candidate genes of osteoarthritis (OA) is the ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (meltrin alpha) gene. We investigated the potential role of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the ADAM12 gene in susceptibility to radiographic knee OA and its progression in an Estonian cohort. METHODS: The rs3740199 and rs1871054 polymorphisms were genotyped according to restriction fragment...
