      Recently, through a genome wide association study in Japanese knee osteoarthritis (OA) cases, a previously unknown gene, DVWA, was identified. The non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7639618 was subsequently ...
    • 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 ...
