Figure 3From: Association of a functional microsatellite within intron 1 of the BMP5 gene with susceptibility to osteoarthritis SNP comparison of rs9475431, rs9475430, and rs9475429 on BMP5 promoter activity. Luciferase reporter assays comparing the mean transcriptional activities of haplotypes containing the T allele of rs9475431 and haplotypes containing the G allele, haplotypes containing the T allele of rs9475430 and haplotypes containing the C allele, and haplotypes containing the T allele of rs9475429 and haplotypes containing the A allele were performed in MG63 cells. Data shown are the mean ± SD. * P = 2.4 × 10-3. NS is not significant.Back to article page
