Abstract

Objective

Genetic factor plays an important role in early failure of total hip arthroplasty (aseptic loosening) etiology, and TIMP-1 gene may be involved. The present study was conducted to reveal possible association between TIMP-1 polymorphisms with the risk of early failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA) (aseptic loosening).

Methods

The TIMP-1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs4898, rs6609533, and rs2070584 were genotyped in 59 subjects who were diagnosed as aseptic loosening after total hip arthroplasty and in 100 controls.

Results

The TIMP-1 SNP rs4898 T allele in the case group was found to be 1.32 fold (P = 0.0013, 95% CI = 1.16 to 1.58) than the control group. Similarly, the G allele of rs6609533 was found to be associated with increased risk of aseptic loosening (OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.52 to 2.17, P < 0.0001). For SNP rs2070584, no statistical association was found (A vs. G, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.97 to 1.40, P = 0.2028).

Conclusion

The results showed that the TIMP-1 SNPs rs4898 and rs6609533 were associated with the increased risk of early aseptic loosening susceptibility.
