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.
Chromosomes contain smaller units of genetic material called DNA. DNA is a sequence of letters that spell out the genetic code. The DNA is organized into words and sentences called genes.
