Allelic expression analysis suggests that cis-acting polymorphism of FRZB expression does not contribute to osteoarthritis susceptibility.
OBJECTIVE: The FRZB gene codes for secreted frizzled-related protein 3 (sFRP3), a soluble antagonist of wnt signalling that is required for maintaining cartilage integrity. Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that code for the substitution of conserved arginine residues have previously...
