A genetic test to reveal a person's risk of developing osteoarthritis could be avaible in 3 years time if a 2-years study successfully identifies the genes responible.

A genetic test could cost less than £10.

It is also hoped that a genetic test will influence people's lifestyle choices that will help to prevent the onset of osteoarthritis.
