Identification of new susceptibility loci for osteoarthritis (arcOGEN): A genome-wide association study

TL;DR: One of the signals close to genome-wide significance was within the FTO gene, which is involved in regulation of bodyweight—a strong risk factor for osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies confirms a susceptibility locus for knee osteoarthritis on chromosome 7q22

Evangelos Evangelou, +76 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis was performed of four genome-wide association (GWA) studies of 2371 cases of knee OA and 35 909 controls in Caucasian populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A variant in MCF2L is associated with osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: Through large-scale replication, a robust association with SNPs in MCF2L is established, and treatment with a humanized monoclonal antibody against NGF is associated with reduction in pain and improvement in function for knee OA patients.
