Exploring new genetic variants within COL5A1 intron 4‐exon 5 region and TGF‐β family with risk of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures
ReviewN=9,720Mary‐Jessica N. Laguette et al.(2020)· Journal of Orthopaedic Research

This systematic review analyzed 24 studies examining 31 genes and 62 genetic variants associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR). Key findings show mixed evidence for collagen variants: COL1A1 rs1800012 showed protective association in European ancestry populations (OR=2.8, p=0.040), while COL1A2 rs42524 and rs2621215 conferred increased risk (OR=5.73 and 4.29 respectively). VEGFA polymorphisms rs2010963 and rs699947 showed conflicting associations across studies, and most major variants in IL6, IL1B, MMP genes, and inflammatory markers showed no consistent associations with ACLR across populations, highlighting the need for gender and ancestry-stratified analyses.

Genetic polymorphism patterns suggest a genetic driven inflammatory response as pathogenesis in appendicitis
AssociationN=343Jan Dimberg et al.(2020)· International Journal of Colorectal Disease

This case-control study analyzes 28 SNPs in 26 inflammatory response genes in 343 patients (100 with appendicitis, 243 controls) using TaqMan genotyping. Significant associations were found for IL-13 rs1800925 (OR=6.02, 95% CI 1.52-23.78), IL-17 rs2275913 (OR=2.38, 95% CI 1.24-4.57), and CCL22 rs223888 (OR=0.12, 95% CI 0.02-0.90), suggesting a genetic-driven inflammatory response as a pathogenic mechanism in appendicitis.

AssociationN=890Colleen J. Saunders et al.(2013)· Journal of Orthopaedic Research

PhD dissertation examining genetic variants in collagen genes (COL22A1, COL27A1, COL11A1) and anterior cruciate ligament injury risk in Polish athletes. Paper 1 is a systematic review of genetic determinants of ACL rupture. Papers 2 and 3 are case-control association studies finding no significant associations between SNPs rs11784270/rs6577958 (COL22A1), rs946053 (COL27A1), and rs3753841 (COL11A1) and non-contact ACL injury risk in Polish athletes.

About MMP12

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Proteins in this family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protease degrades soluble and insoluble elastin. This gene may play a role in aneurysm formation and mutations in this gene are associated with lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
