Abstract excerpt
MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) is an inflammatory response regulator whose expression is deregulated in osteoarthritis (OA); variations in the miR-146a gene could affect OA risk. This study aimed to analyze the association between two functional variants of the miR-146a gene and primary knee OA in Mexican mestizo population. Methods and Results. A case-control study was conducted with cases defined as individuals...
