Abstract excerpt
The results of studies on association between the C677T polymorphism of the 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) are controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and ONFH, a meta-analysis was performed. Eight studies on MTHFR C677T association with ONFH were searched up to April 2011, and...
