Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility locus has been mapped to chromosome 3p21, to a region of high linkage disequilibrium encompassing twelve genes. Six of these genes are expressed in joint tissues and we therefore assessed whether any of the six were subject to cis-acting regulatory polymorphisms active in these tissues and which could therefore account for the association signal. METHODS: We...
