Sex and ethnic differences in the association of <i>ASPN</i>, <i>CALM1</i>, <i>COL2A1</i>, <i>COMP</i>, and <i>FRZB</i> with genetic susceptibility to osteoarthritis of the knee

Abstract

Our results indicate that genetic polymorphisms affecting knee OA vary between populations (Japanese versus Caucasian) and sexes and indicate a role for ASPN, COMP, FRZB, and COL2A1 in Caucasians.
