It might also be an important cause of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore in this study we evaluated the frequency of cam-type FAI in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients as a potential alternative cause of hip or trochanteric pain.
Chromosomes are made from DNA. Genes are short sections of DNA. Genetically identical cells are produced by a type of cell division called mitosis. In sexual reproduction, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to produce a new cell. This is called fertilisation. Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis.
1 The other 22 pairs are autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and look the same for both males and females. 2  The DNA making up each of our chromosomes contains thousands of genes. 3  At the ends of each of our chromosomes are sections of DNA called telomeres.
