Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between IL-1beta and DVWA gene and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). METHODS: Peripheral genomic DNA were extracted from 105 patients with KBD and 98 healthy controls. PCR-RFLP were performed to detect SNP loci of IL-1beta gene and DVWA gene. RESULTS: The patients with KBD had significantly higher frequency of rs16944 (IL-1beta) locus (chi2 = 24.28, P < 0.001) and single allele...
