DNA methylation in the OPG/RANK/RANKL pathway is associated with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head
29 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of the OPG/RANK/RANKL signalling pathway is a key step in the occurrence of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aims to understand the degree of methylation of the OPG, RANK, and RANKL genes in steroid-related ONFH. METHODS: A case-control study was designed, including 50 patients (25 males and 25 females) and 50 matched controls. The European Molecular...
