Predictive Role of Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms for the Development of Femoral Head Osteonecrosis
2012-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Introduction : Osteonecrosis (ON) is a multifactorial disease that leads to hip destruction. Lately, much focus has been at femoral head preservation with nonsurgical methods. In this study we examined the polymorphisms of IL-1 α , IL-1R, IL-1RA, IL-4R α , IL-1 β , IL-12, γ IFN, TGF- β , TNF-a, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 genes for evaluation of their contribution in ON. Material and methods : DNA was extracted fro...
