Using the procedure developed for analysis of the COL2A1 gene, mutations were detected in > 20% of patients with chondrodysplasias and up to 2% of patients with early-onset familial OA. However, these percentages are only minimal estimates because all possible mutations in the gene cannot be detected with this procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
