What is Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility For Primary Osteoarthritis of The Knee in A Latin American Population about?

This study investigates the association between vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms and primary osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in a Mexican Mestizo population. The research found that the rs731236 polymorphism is significantly associated with an increased risk of primary OA, with the TT genotype showing nearly a two-fold risk compared to controls. The study emphasizes the genetic component of OA and suggests that VDR polymorphisms may play a role in its susceptibility.
