Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex multifactorial disease. The association of knee OA risk with ACE gene rs4343 polymorphism, gene environment synergistic effect, and angiotensin II serum level has not been previously examined. Therefore, we investigate the ACE gene rs4343 polymorphism in knee OA, and its association with severity of knee OA, and angiotensin II serum level. METHODS: Using a case-control...
