OBJECTIVE: Chondrocytes of the synovial joint sense and respond to changes in osmolarity to maintain joint homeostasis. We hypothesised that an abnormal response to osmotic stress is a contributing factor to loss of joint homeostasis and the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Our goal was to identify whether genetic variants affecting the response to osmotic stress were associated with susceptibility to OA....
