Abstract
Immune-related lncRNA may influence osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility. We conducted this study to assess whether the genetic variants in several immune-related lncRNA influence OA susceptibility. The current research genotyped four SNPs in 306 OA patients and 316 healthy controls, including PRNCR1 rs7463708, PRNCR1 rs1456315, PRNCR1 rs16901946 and KIF13B1 rs643472, to investigate their associations with OA susceptibility. We identified that PRNCR1 rs1456315 was associated with OA susceptibility in Chinese Han population (recessive model: odds ratio =2.24; 95% CI: 1.05-4.81; additive model: odds ratio =1.36; 95% CI: 1.03-1.80). Individuals with PRNCR1 rs1456315 mutant G allele were more likely to suffer from OA in Chinese Han population.
