Sequencing of cDNA clones has shown that the carboxy terminal domain of the core protein of large proteoglycans (aggrecans) from human cartilage contains an epidermal growth factor-like (EGF-like) domain which is alternatively spliced. In a previous study it was found that the domain of the
OBJECTIVE
To identify novel genes involved in osteoarthritis (OA), by means of a genome-wide association study.
METHODS
We tested 500,510 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1,341 Dutch Caucasian OA cases and 3,496 Dutch Caucasian controls. SNPs associated with at least 2 OA phenotypes were
