      Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease with a genetic component for its etiology. Recently, a genetic association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17039192 in HIF-2a with knee OA has been reported in a Japanese ...
    • A meta-analysis of European and Asian cohorts reveals a global role of a functional SNP in the 5 ' UTR of GDF5 with osteoarthritis susceptibility 

      Chapman, K.; Takahashi, A.; Meulenbelt, I.; Watson, C.; Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Egli, R.; Tsezou, A.; Malizos, K. N.; Kloppenburg, M.; Shi, D. Q.; Southam, L.; van der Breggen, R.; Donn, R.; Qin, J. H.; Doherty, M.; Slagboom, P. E.; Wallis, G.; Kamatani, N.; Jiang, Q.; Gonzalez, A.; Loughlin, J.; Ikegawa, S. (2008)
      We have performed a meta-analysis combining data for more than 11 000 individuals. It provides compelling evidence for a positive association between a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5'-UTR of GDF5 ...
    • New Sequence Variants in HLA Class II/III Region Associated with Susceptibility to Knee Osteoarthritis Identified by Genome-Wide Association Study 

      Nakajima, M.; Takahashi, A.; Kou, I.; Rodriguez-Fontenla, C.; Gomez-Reino, J. J.; Furuichi, T.; Dai, J.; Sudo, A.; Uchida, A.; Fukui, N.; Kubo, M.; Kamatani, N.; Tsunoda, T.; Malizos, K. N.; Tsezou, A.; Gonzalez, A.; Nakamura, Y.; Ikegawa, S. (2010)
      Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease that has a definite genetic component. Only a few OA susceptibility genes that have definite functional evidence and replication of association have been reported, however. Through ...
    • Replication studies in various ethnic populations do not support the association of the HIF-2 alpha SNP rs17039192 with knee osteoarthritis 

      Nakajima, M.; Shi, D. Q.; Dai, J.; Tsezou, A.; Zheng, M. H.; Norman, P. E.; Takahashi, A.; Ikegawa, S.; Jiang, Q. (2011)
