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.

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 DCN

This gene encodes a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. This protein plays a role in collagen fibril assembly. Binding of this protein to multiple cell surface receptors mediates its role in tumor suppression, including a stimulatory effect on autophagy and inflammation and an inhibitory effect on angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. This gene and the related gene biglycan are thought to be the result of a gene duplication. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital stromal corneal dystrophy in human patients.
