MIR31HG polymorphisms are related to steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head among Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

MIR31 host gene (MIR31HG) polymorphisms play important roles in the occurrence of osteonecrosis. However, the association of MIR31HG polymorphisms with the risk of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between MIR31HG polymorphisms and SONFH susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

Methods

A total of 708 volunteers were recruited to detect the effect of seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MIR31HG gene on SONFH risk in the Chinese Han population. Genotyping of MIR31HG polymorphisms was performed using the Agena MassARRAY platform. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to evaluate the correlation between MIR31HG polymorphisms
