Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic factors plays an important role in early failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA) etiology and MMP-1 gene polymorphism rs5854 may be involved. The present study was conducted to reveal the possible association between MMP-1 rs5854 C/T polymorphism and the risk of early failure of THA (aseptic loosening). METHODS: The rs5854 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in MMP-1 gene was genotyped in 63...
