Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1800629 (TNF-α -308) and rs361525 (TNF-α -238) of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α gene and susceptibility to osteoarthritis (OA) in the Han Chinese population. METHODS: The TNF-α -308 and -238 genotypes were determined by TaqMan assay in 200 OA cases and 305 controls. Odds ratios...
