Abstract excerpt
Previous studies suggested that apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) may result in abnormal lipid metabolism. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms in ApoE may be associated with the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). A case control study was designed to include 580 patients with steroid-induced ONFH and 560 age- and sex-matched non steroid-induced ONFH control subjects to analyze...
