Pelvic Incidence in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis
Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of pain and disability that results in considerable social and medical costs. Mechanics such as posture, alignment and orientation of the hips and the spinal column and the relationship between these factors have been implicated in the development of both hip and spine pathologies. This study aims to test the hypothesis if pelvic incidenc...
متن کاملCombinations of variations in multiple genes are associated with hypertension.
The genetic analysis of hypertension has revealed complex and inconsistent results, making it difficult to draw clear conclusions regarding the impact of specific genes on blood pressure regulation in diverse human populations. Some of the confusion from previous studies is probably due to undetected gene-gene interactions. Instead of focusing on the effects of single genes on hypertension, we ...
متن کاملVariations in inflammation-related genes may be associated with childhood febrile seizure susceptibility
PURPOSE To investigate whether genetic variants in inflammation-related genes are associated with increased risk of childhood-onset febrile seizures. METHOD Tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 19 inflammation-related candidate genes were identified and genotyped on the Sequenom platform in a sample of Caucasian childhood-onset febrile seizures cases (n=98) compared to ethnicit...
متن کاملTNF-α and TNF-β Polymorphisms are Associated with Susceptibility to Osteoarthritis in a Korean Population
BACKGROUND The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is believed to play an important role in the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Evidence shows that genetic polymorphisms make substantial contributions to the etiology of OA. METHODS We investigated the genotypes TNF-α and TNF-β in 301 OA patients and 291 healthy subjects as controls. We employed a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment...
متن کاملGenetic variations in LIGHT are associated with susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis in a Chinese Han population
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of axial skeleton and has strong genetic susceptibility. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found playing an important role in the development of AS. This study intends to explore whether the susceptibility to AS is associated with rs2171513 C>T, rs1077667 G>A in LIGHT (lymphotoxin, ex...
