Higher delaminated to total COMP ratio in alkaptonuria cartilage compared with OA cartilage
Graph showing extractable D-COMP as a proportion of total COMP (D/T) from AKU (n = 6), OA (n = 12) and non-OA (n = 6) independent cartilage specimens. (A) All samples, both hips and knees. (B) Hip-only samples. Error bars represent the mean of the n in each group ±95% CI. D-COMP: deamidated COMP; AKU: alkaptonuria; D/T: D-COMP to T-COMP ratio.
