Some studies have suggested that coagulation disorders may be implicated in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The C677T polymorphism of the 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been postulated to be a genetic risk factor for venous thromboembolism and osteonecrosis in Caucasians, but this relationship has not been established in other populations. In this study, we conducted...
The pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) probably reflects multiple etiologies. Recent studies have explored associations between genetic mutations and/or polymorphisms and ONFH. Annexins (ANXs) have been implicated in many physiological functions, including blood coagulation, inflammation, apoptosis, as well as Ca2+ homeostasis in bone cells, all of which may be associated with...
Disruption of the vascular supply to the bone and subsequent hypoxia has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head (ONFH). To evaluate the genetic effect of HIF1α, a key transcription factor in controlling hypoxia condition, on ONFH, we analyzed HIF1α polymorphism and its genetic association with ONFH.We directly sequenced the HIF1α gene in 24 Korean individuals...
