Abstract
BackgroundAlthough a genetic component to hip osteoarthritis (OA) has been described, focused evaluation of the genetic components of end-stage disease is limited. We present a genomewide association study for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) to characterize the genetic risk factors associated with end-stage hip osteoarthritis (ESHO), defined as utilization of the procedure. MethodsPatients who underwent primary THA for hip OA were identified in a national patient data repository using administrative codes. Fifteen thousand three hundred and fifty-five patients with ESHO and 374,193 control patients were identified. Whole genome regression of genotypic data for patients who underwent primary THA for hip OA corrected for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) was performed. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the composite genetic risk from the identified genetic variants. ResultsThere were 13 significant genes identified. Composite genetic factors resulted in an odds ratio 1.04 for ESHO (P < .001). The effect of genetics was lower than that of age (Odds Ratio (OR): 2.38; P < .001) and BMI (1.81; P < .001). ConclusionMultiple genetic variants, including 5 novel loci, were associated with end-stage hip OA treated with primary THA. Age and BMI were associated with greater odds of developing end-stage disease when compared to genetic factors.
