Abstract excerpt
To investigate the relationships between two COL2A1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; T2088C and G4006A) and osteoarthritis (OA) in Han Chinese women. One hundred and twenty OA women and 120 control women were recruited. Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood. The COL2A1 polymorphisms T2088C and G4006A were analyzed by TaqMan assay. The levels of plasma N-propetide of type IIA collagen (PIIANP) and...
