<h4>Objective</h4>Genetic factors play an important role in osteoarthritis (OA) etiology and ADAM12 gene polymorphisms may be involved. This study tried to examine the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ADAM12 for their association with knee OA susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.<h4>Methods</h4>The rs3740199, rs1871054, rs1278279, and rs1044122 SNPs in ADAM12 gene were genotyped in 152 subjects who were diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis and in 179 healthy controls.<h4>Results</h4>R ...[more]
