We examined single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B (TNFRSF11B) gene and knee OA. We identified alleles in a VNTR region in intron 3 that was observed exclusively in women OA cases (P = 0.007, Pc = 0.042). Our results reveal that a previously unreported association between a VNTR genotype in TNFRSF11B and knee OA in women.
我们研究了肿瘤坏死因子受体超家族成员 11B(TNFRSF11B)基因和膝骨关节炎(OA)的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)。我们在 3 号内含子中的 VNTR 区域发现了仅在女性 OA 病例中观察到的等位基因(P = 0.007,Pc = 0.042)。我们的研究结果揭示了 TNFRSF11B 中的 VNTR 基因型与女性膝 OA 之间以前未报道的关联。
