CDC: Osteoarthritis is a disease characterized by degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint as well as bony overgrowth. The breakdown of these tissues eventually leads to pain and joint stiffness. The joints most commonly affected are the knees, hips, and those in the hands and spine. The specific causes of osteoarthritis are unknown, but are believed to be a result of both mechanical and molecular events in the affected joint. Disease onset is gradual and usually begins after the age of 40. There is currently no cure for OA. Treatment for OA focuses on relieving symptoms and improving function, and can include a combination of patient education, physical therapy, weight control, and use of medications.2

MalaCards: Ocular Albinism, also known as degenerative polyarthritis, is related to aland island eye disease and ocular albinism with sensorineural deafness. An important gene associated with Ocular Albinism is GPR143 (G protein-coupled receptor 143), and among its related pathways is Melanogenesis. The drugs aspirin and diflunisal and the compounds dhica and arbutin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, retina and skin, and related mouse phenotypes are pigmentation and vision/eye.

Genetics Home Reference: Ocular albinism is a genetic condition that primarily affects the eyes. This condition reduces the coloring (pigmentation) of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Pigmentation in the eye is essential for normal vision.17
