However, an osteochondrosis study of horses determined that APOB and APOB-3G (similar to Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3G) from leukocytes were relatively under-expressed in the osteochondrosis-affected group, indicating an inverse correlation between APOB and osteochondrosis which culminated in OA [30]. The gene discussed is APOB; the disease is Osteochondrosis.
