Abstract
A higher frequency of 7623TT or CT of the ApoB gene was observed in ONFH cases than in referent patients (P = 0.033), resulting in an elevated odds ratio that was statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio = 6.37, 95% CI = 1.53-26.5, P = 0.011). No significant relationship was observed between other genes and ONFH. Regarding lipid parameters, a higher value of ApoB/ApoA1 ratio was observed in cases (P = 0.045).
