COL9A1 gene polymorphism is associated with Kashin-Beck disease in a northwest Chinese Han population.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether genomic polymorphism in collagen IX genes (COL9A) was associated with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). METHODS: Twenty seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COL9AI, COL9A2 and COL9A3 were genotyped in 274 KBD cases and 248 healthy controls using the Sequ...
