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.
sections of DNA in the chromosome that carry the information for the traits of an organism such as hair color, eye color, height, etc. Genes, like the chromosomes they make up, are in pairs. One half of the pair comes from one parent and one half from the other parent and are joined into pairs when the sperm fertilizes the egg during reproduction. Each member of a pair of genes is called an allele.
