• Association of a nsSNP in ADAMTS14 to some osteoarthritis phenotypes 

      Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Pombo-Suarez, M.; Loughlin, J.; Tsezou, A.; Blanco, F. J.; Meulenbelt, I.; Slagboom, P. E.; Valdes, A. M.; Spector, T. D.; Gomez-Reino, J. J.; Gonzalez, A. (2009)
      Objective: To investigate the effect in OA (Osteoarthritis) susceptibility of putative damaging changes in ADAM (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease) and ADAMTS (ADAM with ThromboSpondin motif proteases. Methods: Non-synonymous ...
    • Genetic variation including nonsynonymous polymorphisms of a major aggrecanase, ADAMTS-5, in susceptibility to osteoarthritis 

      Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Mustafa, Z.; Pombo-Suarez, M.; Malizos, K. N.; Rego, I.; Blanco, F. J.; Tsezou, A.; Loughlin, J.; Gomez-Reino, J. J.; Gonzalez, A. (2008)
      Objective. Given the recent characterization of ADAMTS-5 as the main aggrecanase of cartilage destruction in mouse models, we explored whether genetic variation and, in particular, putative damaging polymorphisms in the ...
    • Large-Scale Analysis of Association Between GDF5 and FRZB Variants and Osteoarthritis of the Hip, Knee, and Hand 

      Evangelou, E.; Chapman, K.; Meulenbelt, I.; Karassa, F. B.; Loughlin, J.; Carr, A.; Doherty, M.; Doherty, S.; Gomez-Reino, J. J.; Gonzalez, A.; Halldorsson, B. V.; Hauksson, V. B.; Hofman, A.; Hart, D. J.; Ikegawa, S.; Ingvarsson, T.; Jiang, Q.; Jonsdottir, I.; Jonsson, H.; Kerkhof, H. J. M.; Kloppenburg, M.; Lane, N. E.; Li, J.; Lories, R. J.; van Meurs, J. B. J.; Nakki, A.; Nevitt, M. C.; Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Shi, D. Q.; Slagboom, E.; Stefansson, K.; Tsezou, A.; Wallis, G. A.; Watson, C. M.; Spector, T. D.; Uitterlinden, A. G.; Valdes, A. M.; Ioannidis, J. P. A. (2009)
      Objective. GDF5 and FRZB have been proposed as genetic loci conferring susceptibility to osteoarthritis (OA); however, the results of several studies investigating the association of OA with the rs143383 polymorphism of ...
    • Meta-analysis of association between the ASPN D-repeat and osteoarthritis 

      Nakamura, T.; Shi, D.; Tzetis, M.; Rodriguez-Lopez, J.; Miyamoto, Y.; Tsezou, A.; Gonzalez, A.; Jiang, Q.; Kamatani, N.; Loughlin, J.; Ikegawa, S. (2007)
      Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of human arthritis. Genetic factors have been implicated in OA. It was reported that an aspartic acid (D)-repeat polymorphism in the gene encoding asporin (ASPN) was associated ...
    • 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 ...
