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.
An enzyme called DNA gyrase makes a nick in the double helix and each side separates; An enzyme called helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA; Several small proteins called single strand binding proteins (SSB) temporarily bind to each side and keep them separated An enzyme complex called DNA polymerase walks down the DNA strands and adds new nucleotides to each strand.
