Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of Kashin-Beck disease
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a degenerative osteoarticular disease of unknown etiology. The management of KBD would benefit from the identification of the biomarkers related to this disease. In this study, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic profiling was used to identify potential biomarkers of the disease.
