Is overexpression of osteopontin in rheumatoid synovial mononuclear cells associated with joint inflammation , not with genetic polymorphism?
Overexpression of OPN mRNA in SFMC is associated with proinflammatory factors produced in inflamed joints, but not with OPN genetic polymorphisms. OPN gene polymorphisms do not correlate with susceptibility to RA.
When controlling for age, there is no difference in the TCL between AVRT and AVNRT in children. Age, not tachycardia mechanism, is the most significant factor in predicting TCL.
