Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms rs13301537 in asporin (ASPN) and rs373444 in the bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP5) gene with knee osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. ASPN rs13301537 and BMP5 rs373444 polymorphisms were genotyped in patients with knee OA and age- and sex-matched OA-free controls from a Chinese Han...
