Association of KLOTHO gene polymorphisms with knee osteoarthritis in Greek population

Based on the fact that klotho‐deficient mice exhibit multiple aging phenotypes, including osteopenia and subchondral sclerosis of joints and on the recent observation that KLOTHO gene plays an important role in calcium/phosphate homeostasis, we explored the possibility whether human KLOTHO gene poly...
