Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: FBN2, a high-confidence effector gene for osteoarthritis (OA), was investigated for its potential role in synostosis of joints (SJ) because several OA-related genes are known to cause SJ. METHODS: We analyzed variants in OA-related genes using exome sequencing data from Chinese-Han participants with radioulnar synostosis (RUS). Variants were classified following American College of Medical Genetics and...
