Association study of candidate genes for susceptibility to Kashin-Beck disease in a Tibetan population

BMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background Many osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility genes have been identified in recent years. Given the overlap in the phenotype of joint inflammation between OA and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD), the aim of this study is to explore whether the reported OA ...

The Silent Shift: Investigating Selenium Biovolatilization in Natural Environments

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Selenium (Se) is essential for human health. Organisms produce volatile Se through metabolism, which is an essential but hidden component of the Se geochemical cycle. Understanding this natural cycle is vital for sustainable development and ecosystem protection, thereby preserving planetary health and fostering harmonious coexistence between ...

COL9A1 gene polymorphism is associated with Kashin-Beck disease in a northwest Chinese Han population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether genomic polymorphism in collagen IX genes (COL9A) was associated with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). METHODS: Twenty seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COL9AI, COL9A2 and COL9A3 were genotyped in 274 KBD

Ictal Asystole in a Patient With DEE due to an FGF12 Pathogenic Variant: A Reminder to Monitor Cardiac Function

Clinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 486-487, October 2025.
We report the first known case of a 9‐year‐old male with early‐onset epilepsy, syncope, and ictal asystole–requiring pacemaker implantation at the age of seven–associated with a pathogenic variant in FGF12.

New Glycoconjugates Containing Selenium and Polyphenols. Stereoselective Synthesis by Pummerer‐like Rearrangement.

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 26, July 12, 2025.
Two series of novel six‐membered Se‐glycoconjugates containing hydroxycinnamic acids marked by well‐known antioxidant properties are synthesized, exploiting a Mitsunobu reaction and a Pummerer‐like rearrangement. A first example of six‐membered selenosugar with selenium in the ring and bearing an acetal‐like functional group at C‐1 was reported, which ...

Low selenium and T-2 toxin may be involved in the pathogenesis of Kashin-Beck disease by affecting AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway mediated autophagy.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic, environmentally associated cartilage disease. Previous studies have shown that the environmental suspected pathogenic factors of KBD, T-2 toxin and low selenium, are involved in the regulation of inflammation ...

Abnormal expression of TSG-6 disturbs extracellular matrix homeostasis in chondrocytes from endemic osteoarthritis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background and aims: Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a unique endemic osteochondropathy with unclear pathogenesis in China. T-2 toxin exposure has been identified as a significant risk factor of KBD.

LRP1 Mediates Endocytosis Activity and Is a Potential Therapeutic Target in Osteoarthritis

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1604-1619, June 2025.
(A) The risk factors associated with OA development. (B) Exosomes derived from TNF‐α stimulate upregulation of LRP1 levels in IPFP‐MSC‐derived exosomes, thereby exerting chondroprotective effects. (C) The regulation of endocytosis by LRP1, which impacts chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis.

Geographical Patterns and Determinants of Selenium Deficiency in Tibet: A Cross‐Sectional Study Based on Urinary Selenium Analysis

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Selenium is an essential micronutrient, yet its deficiency poses severe health risks, including Kashin‐Beck disease, a debilitating disorder endemic to selenium‐deficient regions like Tibet. Despite the known risks, the extent and drivers of selenium deficiency in Tibetan populations remain poorly characterized.
