Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The genetic aspect of degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the temporomandibular joint is poorly understood. The prevalence of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) gene polymorphism in patients with and without DJD using xbal and pvull restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) was studied. METHODOLOGY: DNA samples from 42 DJD⁺ and 36 DJD⁻ subjects were amplified. A 346-base pair long ER-alpha gene...
