9 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a polygenic disease of older people resulting in the breakdown of cartilage within articular joints. Although it is a leading cause of disability, there are no disease-modifying therapies. Evidence is emerging to support the origins of OA in skeletogenesis. Whereas methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) co-localizing with OA genome-wide association study signals have been identified in...
