Genome‐Wide Association Study of Radiographic Knee Osteoarthritis in North American Caucasians
AssociationN=7,066Yau MS et al.(2017)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatology

This genome-wide association study (GWAS) of radiographic tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis in 3,898 cases and 3,168 controls from four North American cohorts identified one novel locus near LSP1P3 (rs4867568, OR=0.84, P=3.02×10⁻⁶) and confirmed associations with previously reported loci GDF5 (rs143383, OR=1.12, P=2.13×10⁻³) and FTO (rs8044769, OR=1.10, P=6.13×10⁻³). Despite the large sample size and standardized radiographic phenotyping, no variants achieved genome-wide significance, highlighting the polygenic nature of knee OA.

About MCF2L

This gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that interacts specifically with the GTP-bound Rac1 and plays a role in the Rho/Rac signaling pathways. A variant in this gene was associated with osteoarthritis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
