Abstract

BACKGROUND: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) metabolism is significantly associated with osteoarthritis (OA), but the specific mechanism of BCAA related genes (BCAA-RGs) in OA is still unclear. Therefore, this research intended to identify potential biomarkers and mechanisms of action of BCAA-RGs in OA tissues.
