Environmental, genetic, and epigenetic (such as DNA hydroxymethylation) factors may be involved in the etiology, development, and pathogenesis of OA. Here, comprehensive bioinformatic analyses were used to identify aberrantly hydroxymethylated differentially expressed genes and pathways in osteoarthritis to determine the underlying molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis and susceptibility-related genes for osteoarthritis inheritance %K DNA hydroxymethylation %K Expression profile %K Bioinformatics %K Cartilage %K Collagen %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6394344/
