Genome-wide DNA methylation study of hip and knee cartilage reveals embryonic organ and skeletal system morphogenesis as major pathways involved in osteoarthritis
9 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that epigenetics plays a role in osteoarthrits (OA). The aim of the study was to describe the genome wide DNA methylation changes in hip and knee OA and identify novel genes and pathways involved in OA by comparing the DNA methylome of the hip and knee osteoarthritic cartilage tissues with those of OA-free individuals. METHODS: Cartilage samples were collected from hip or knee joint...
