Abstract
Clinical and basic research has been performed to determine the pathogenesis of steroid-induced ONFH. Low hepatic CYP3A activity has been reported to significantly contribute to the risk of steroid-induced ONFH. Several gene polymorphisms related to steroid metabolism were shown to be associated with the occurrence of ONFH.
