Osteoarthritis Cartilage
. 2005 Jun;
13(6):497-507.
PMID: 15922184
Objective: We sought to determine whether sequence variations in cartilage collagen genes are associated with primary, early-onset osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: The cartilage collagen genes, COL2A1, COL9A1, COL9A2, COL9A3, COL11A1 and...
