Abstract excerpt
Tennis elbow defines a condition of pain and tenderness over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The exact aetiology of the injury is not yet fully understood. The major constituent of tendons is type 1 collagen which is encoded by COL1A1 gene. The aim of the study was to determine whether Sp1 binding site polymorphism (SNP rs1800012; 1546G/T) within the intronic region of COL1A1 gene is associated with tennis...
