[Progress of research in osteoarthritis. Recent advance in the study of susceptibility genes for osteoarthritis].

Abstract excerpt

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a polygenic disease based on genetic and environmental factors. Identification of its genetic factor, i.e., the susceptibility genes for OA is rapidly in progress. Recent advance in the study of OA susceptibility genes is reviewed with focus on the genome-wide association study and the large-scale replication study.
