Abstract excerpt
Aims: To investigate the possible roles of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) MATN3 (rs77245812) and DOT1L (rs12982744) with susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis (KOA) among mestizos from the northeast region of Mexico. In addition, we analyzed the relationship of their urinary levels of carboxy terminal telopeptide of collagen type II (CTX-II) and the radiological grade of disease. Materials and...
