Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether genomic polymorphism in collagen IX genes (COL9A) was associated with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). METHODS: Twenty seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COL9AI, COL9A2 and COL9A3 were genotyped in 274 KBD cases and 248 healthy controls using the Sequenom MassARRAY system. Associations between the COL9A polymorphism and KBD risk were detected using an unconditional...
