These were mapped to: TBX5 which is associated with osteochondrosis from GWAS studies (Rangkasenee et al., 2013), CASZ1 which is downregulated during osteoclast differentiation (Toor et al., 2021), ULBP2 which encodes a major histocompatibility complex protein that is involved in immune system through activation of natural killer cells, and NUDT15 which is upregulated during osteoclast differentiation (Toor et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene TBX5 and Osteochondrosis.
