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.
Gene-Inside the DNA molecule are sections of information called genes. Each gene tells the cell how to make a certain protein which may determine a trait such as the color of the eyes. Allele-While the section of DNA is called a gene, a specific pattern in a gene is called an allele. For example, the gene would determine the hair color.
