Do the BstUI and DpnII Variants of the COL5A1 Gene Are Associated With Tennis Elbow?
Individuals with the BstUI A1 allele and DpnII B2 allele of the COL5A1 gene have a high likelihood of developing symptoms of the tennis elbow. This is the first study reporting that rs12722 and rs13946 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are genetic risk factors for tennis elbow.
A simple score obtained within the first day after LT predicts short-term survival and need for retransplantation and may prove useful when selecting diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
