Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is not very clear at present. For the past few years researches showed that the SONFH related to genetic predisposing factors. The related research progresses were reviewed in this article to show the correlation between genetic mutation and genetic polymorphism of steroid metabolism and transport, resistance and receptor, coagulation...
