Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative, chronic, progressive and multifactorial disease of the joints that causes degenerative<br />

changes in articular cartilage, but also causes pathological changes in other parts of the joint. It is<br />

the most common chronic musculoskeletal disease with complex genetic risk, and represents a leading cause of<br />

disability in elderly population worldwide. The risk for primary OA is polygenic in nature, with risk differing among<br />

various human subpopulations. One of the factors involved in the genetic predisposition to both hip OA (HOA)<br />

and knee OA (KOA) is the interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene cluster located on chromosome 2. Using case-control study in<br />

a Croatian Caucasian population with 500 OA patients, of which 240 KOA patients with total knee replacement<br />

(TKR) or partial knee replacement (PKR) and 260 HOA patients with total hip replacement (THR), and 508 healthy<br />

blood donors as controls, we have mapped genetic polymorphisms at 4 loci, comprising three SNPs: IL1A -889<br />

(C>T), IL1B +3594 (C>T) and -511 (G>A), and a VNTR in the IL1RN gene. Further analyses were done by assembling<br />

haplotypes using our previous reports on markers for the same population (the IL1B -511C>T SNP and the IL1RN<br />

VNTR). Our results are consistent with a hypothesis that inflammatory factors like IL-1 are implicated in pathogenesis<br />

of primary OA.<br />
