Genetic study reveals possible new routes to treating osteoarthritis

In the largest genetic study of osteoarthritis, an international team of scientists including researchers from the University of Sheffield, have uncovered 52 new genetic changes linked to the disease, which doubles the number of genetic regions associated with the disabling condition. Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, GSK and their collaborators - including Mark Wilkinson, Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of Sheffield - analysed the genomes of over 77,000 people with osteoarthritis.
