Involvement of an FTO gene polymorphism in the temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis
23 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The FTO gene has been reported as an obesity-associated gene and is also considered a risk gene for osteoarthritis (OA). However, its exact function is unclear, and there is conflicting evidence on the involvement of FTO polymorphisms in OA via obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of FTO polymorphism rs8044769 alleles on OA in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is...
