• Genome-wide association meta-analysis of knee and hip osteoarthritis uncovers genetic differences between patients treated with joint replacement and patients without joint replacement. - Annals of the rheumatic diseases (2023) · Henkel C, Styrkársdóttir U, Thorleifsson G, Stefánsdóttir L, Björnsdóttir G, Banasik K, Brunak S, Erikstrup C, Dinh KM, Hansen TF, Nielsen KR, Bruun MT, Dowsett J, Brodersen T, Thorgeirsson TE, Gromov K, Boesen MP, Ullum H, Ostrowski SR, Pedersen OB, Stefánsson K, Troelsen A · PubMed 36376028

  Osteoarthritis is a common and severe, multifactorial disease with a well-established genetic component. However, little is known about how genetics affect disease progression, and thereby the need for joint placement. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether the genetic associations of knee and hip osteoarthritis differ between patients treated with joint replacement and patients without joint replacement. We included knee and hip osteoarthritis cases along with healthy controls, altogether counting >700 000 individuals. The cases were divided into two groups based on joint replacement status (surgical vs non-surgical) and included in four genome-wide association meta-analyses: surgical knee osteoarthritis (N = 22 525), non-surgical knee osteoarthritis (N = 38 626), surgical hip o
