Abstract
- Purpose: Genetic basis of Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains largely unknown. To find new susceptibility genes for DDH, we carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for DDH. Methods: We enrolled 386 radiology confirmed DDH patients and 558 healthy controls (Set A) to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Quality-control was conducted at both the sample and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) levels. We then conducted a subsequent case-control study to replicate the association between a promising loci, rs6060373 in UQCC gene and DDH in an independent set of 755 cases and 944 controls (set B). Results: In the DDH GWAS discovering stage, 51 SNPs showed significance of less than 10-4, and another 577 SNPs showed significance of less than 10-3. In UQCC, all the 12 genotyped SNPs showed as promising risk loci. Genotyping of rs6060373 in set A showed the minor allele A as a promising risk allele (p = 4.82*10-7). In set A, the odds ratio of allele A was 1.77. Genotyping of rs6060373 in Set B produced another significant result (p = 0.0338) with an odds ratio of 1.18 for risk allele A. Combining set A and set B, we identified a total p value of 3.63*10-6 with the odds ratio of 1.35 (1.19–1.53) for allele A. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates common variants of UQCC, specifically rs6060373, are associated with DDH in Han Chinese population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
