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.
A section of DNA which codes for a protein is called a gene. 1  Each gene codes for one protein. 2  Humans have approximately 50,000 genes or 2000 per chromosome. 3  About 95% of the DNA in chromosome is junk that does not code for any proteins.
