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.
As this enzyme cuts up the proteins, the DNA will separate from the proteins and unwind. Each DNA molecule consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted together in a long spiral called a double helix. DNA is made up of four different types of nucleotide: A, C, G and T. Each DNA molecule contains multiple genes. Each gene is a segment of DNA with a sequence of nucleotides that provides the instructions for making a protein. A cell needs many different types of proteins to function.
