Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Genomic studies have revealed that there is a significant association between a point mutation of the human Col2A1 gene (G1170S) and several hip disorders. The purpose of the study was to explore the phenotype and altered cartilage matrix homeostasis of transgenic mice carrying this mutated Col2a1 gene. METHODS: Wild-type and transgenic mice were used as the control and study groups,...
