Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Helsinki, Finland
Epidemiology 15:626-33. 2004..We investigated whether polymorphisms within the IL-1 gene locus are associated with lumbar disc degeneration and whether the effect of occupational physical load on disc degeneration is modified by the polymorphisms... - Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of hand osteoarthritis in Finnish womenSvetlana Solovieva
Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Helsinki, Finland
Arthritis Res Ther 8:R20. 2006..Our results suggest that VDR gene polymorphisms play a role in the etiology of symmetrical hand OA.
