Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration. It is largely heritable, and genetic screening has identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) marking genomic risk loci. One such locus is marked by the G>A SNP rs75621460, downstream of TGFB1. This gene encodes transforming growth factor β1, the correct expression of which is essential for cartilage...
