This section considers studies of the statistical associations between genetic factors and disease states in families and populations, and the contribution of genetic factors to disease risk.
Allelic expression analysis of the osteoarthritis susceptibility locus that maps to chromosome 3p21 reveals cis-acting eQTLs at GNL3 and SPCS1
An osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility locus has been mapped to chromosome 3p21, to a region of high linkage disequilibrium encompassing twelve genes. Six of these genes are expressed in joint tissues and we th...
