Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJ ID) is a multifactorial complex disease characterised by articular disc degeneration. Matrilin-3 is a cartilage and bone-specific adaptor protein, and amino-acid substitutions in the protein are associated with skeletal diseases and joint disorders. We aimed to detect the variants of Matrilin-3 gene (MATN3) in a TMJ ID case-control group and to investigate...
