Abstract excerpt
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease with a genetic component for its etiology. Recently, a genetic association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17039192 in HIF-2α with knee OA has been reported in a Japanese population; however, controversy exits for its replication and a role of HIF-2α in OA. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the SNP by a large-scale replication study. A total of...
