Multi-tissue epigenetic analysis of the osteoarthritis susceptibility locus mapping to the plectin gene <i>PLEC</i>
2020-01-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> Osteoarthritis (OA) associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11780978 correlates with differential expression of PLEC , and methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) at PLEC CpGs in cartilage. This implies that methylation links chondrocyte genotype and phenotype, thus driving the functional effect. PLEC encodes plectin, a cytoskeletal protein that enables tissues to respond to me...
