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.
The cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains all the genetic material of the cell, comprised of segments called genes. Each DNA gene contains the instructions for producing one specific protein. Messenger RNA is a copy of one section, or gene, of DNA. This mRNA contains triplets of nucleotides, called codons. Each of these codons represents one amino acid.
