Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have suggested that polymorphisms in toll-like receptor 9 (TLR-9), an endosomal TLR, are associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA). TLR-3, -7, and -8 are also found on the surface of endosomes and to investigate whether similar associations exist with polymorphisms in these TLR genes we performed a two-stage case-control study and genotyped 11 TLR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 823 OA...
