Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin-6 gene promoter, tumor necrosis factor-α gene promoter, and transforming growth factor-β1 gene signal sequence as predictors of time to onset of aseptic loosening after total hip arthroplasty: prelimina

This preliminary study is the first to suggest that the TGF-β1 signal sequence (29T → C) and IL-6 promoter (− 597G → A) | (− 572G → C) transitions are predictive for the time to onset of aseptic instability after THA.
