BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggested that apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) may result in lipid metabolism disorders. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms in ApoA5 may be associated with the occurrence of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). METHODS: We designed a case-control study including 223 patients of osteonecrosis and 201 age- and sex-matched control subjects to analyze the association...
