Familial aggregation of gout and relative genetic and environmental contributions: a nationwide population study in Taiwan (2013)
Journal Article

© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective: To examine familial aggregation of gout and to estimate the heritability and environmental contributions to gout susceptibility in the general population. Methods: Using data from the Nati... Read More about Familial aggregation of gout and relative genetic and environmental contributions: a nationwide population study in Taiwan.

The effect of FTO variation on increased osteoarthritis risk is mediated through body mass index: a mendelian randomisation study (2013)
Journal Article

© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective: Variation in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene influences susceptibility to obesity. A variant in the FTO gene has been implicated in genetic risk to osteoarthritis (OA). We e...

Gene-environment interaction between body mass index and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF?1) gene in knee and hip osteoarthritis (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction: The objective was to investigate potential gene-environment interaction between body mass index (BMI) and each of eight TGF?1 polymorphisms in knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: We conducted a case-control study of Caucasian me...
