| Abstract | Primary osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in developed countries. Currently no satisfactory treatment to stop disease progression exists. Recent studies suggest that activation of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is an interesting therapeutic target for this disease. PPARγ is a transcription factor important for adipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Agonists of PPARγ inhibit inflammation and reduce generation of cartilage degradation products both in vitro and in vivo, and reduce the development/progression of cartilage lesions in OA animal models. However, there are no studies to assess the role of PPARγ in OA susceptibility of human peripheral joints in a Chinese population. We conducted a case–control study in a southeast Chinese population to determine the association of PPAR γ gene polymorphisms (rs1801282, rs12629751, rs2292101, rs4135275 and rs1175543) with OA. One-hundred knee OA cases and 100 controls were studied. Statistically significant differences were detected in genotype and allele frequencies between OA and control groups in this population. For knee OA, the highest risk was associated with the variant allele T of the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs12629751 (odds ratio (OR): 0.341, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.173–0.673, P = 0.002), and allele T of SNP rs12629751 (chi-square: 9.546, P = 0.002) could be considered as a risk factor of knee OA. Therefore, PPARγ mutation could be associated with the incidence of OA in a Chinese population. There is a significant association between the PPAR γ polymorphism rs12629751 and susceptibility to knee OA in a southeast Chinese population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
