OBJECTIVE: Although a few consistent osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility genes have been identified, little is known on OA progression. Since OA progression is clinically the most relevant phenotype, we investigate the association between asporin (ASPN), bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP5) and growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) polymorphisms and progression of hand OA. METHODS: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms...
