Genetic predictors of joint shape and cartilage mechanics Ghent University
Recent genome wide association studies have revealed that several osteoarthritis (OA) risk loci involve common genetic variations related to musculoskeletal development and morphogenesis. To date, a major shortcoming, is that morphometric phenotyping is based on 2D superposition imaging, resulting in high noise levels and limited applicability. In this interdisciplinary project, DNA will be collected from patients undergoing CT scanning for ...
