Abstract excerpt
Primary osteoarthritis (POA) is a complex hereditary disease that involves the interplay between genetics and epigenetics. MicroRNA molecules play important roles in epigenetic mechanisms. MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) is a negative regulator of the immune response in osteoarthritis (OA). So, variations in the miR-146a gene could affect OA risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between single...
