Dissecting the genetic architecture of knee alignment reveals its contribution to osteoarthritis risk

Mijin Jung, Faten Alomar, Clarissa R. Coveney, Shibo Chen, Sarah E. Orr, Jolet Y. Mimpen, Marina Nikolic, Kaitlyn A. Flynn, Yuandan Zhang, Raja Ebsim, Fiona R. Saunders, Jennifer Sue. Gregory, R.M. Aspden, Nicholas C. Harvey, Claudia Lindner, , Benjamin G Faber

This study identifies 20 genetic loci associated with knee alignment and shows genetic correlation with knee osteoarthritis, suggesting osteoarthritis may causally influence alignment.

Hip joint space width is causally related to hip osteoarthritis risk via distinct protective and susceptibility mechanisms: findings from a genome-wide association study meta-analysis

Monika Frysz, Benjamin G Faber, Cindy Germaine Boer, Daniel S. Evans, Raja Ebsim, Kaitlyn A. Flynn, Mischa Lundberg, Lorraine Southam, April E. Hartley, Fiona R. Saunders, Claudia Lindner, J.S. Gregory, R.M. Aspden, Nancy E. Lane, Nicholas C. Harvey, , Jonathan H. Tobias

This study identifies genetic determinants of hip joint space width and finds they have opposing causal effects on hip osteoarthritis risk through distinct mechanisms.
