Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in Metalloproteinases (MMPs) Genes With the Risk of Primary Knee Osteoarthritis in Greek Population.

August 17, 2022 updated by: Christos Milaras, Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki
Does the presence of gene polymorphisms -1575G / A in the MMP-2 gene, 836A / G in the MMP-9 gene and -77A / G in the MMP-13 gene, affect the risk of developing idiopathic knee osteoarthritis in the Greek population?

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective case-control study in which the patients' genotype will be studied against the genotype of the controls. The study is prospective and not retrospective, as data will be collected from patients with primary knee osteoarthritis as well as the control group from the outset. The study intends to include 200 people. The first group consists of 100 individuals suffering from knee osteoarthritis, while the second group will include 100 healthy controls without osteoarthritis. From each one DNA will be isolated and analyzed from collected blood. The prospective study allows valid data to be collected on patient demographics and disease severity. Due to the large number of cases of the disease, it is estimated that the necessary specimens will be collected within a reasonable time from the beginning of this thesis. The choice of the patient-control study is necessary to limit the influence of confounding factors (age, gender, obesity, etc.). This type of study includes rigorous selection of patients and controls with specific entry and exclusion criteria, selection of controls based on matching patient characteristics, stratification, and subgroup analyzes. The final result will be a comparison of the incidence of specific gene polymorphisms between patients with knee osteoarthritis and the normal population.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

55 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study will take place at the 3rd Orthopedic Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki of the Papageorgiou General Hospital of Thessaloniki. The patients group will be patients with primary knee osteoarthritis coming for first examination for knee pain or for sceduled total knee arthroplasty surgery. The control group will be people coming for examination due to accident (trauma, fracture) or anything else not relevant with knee pain. Both groups must not have any of the exclusion criteria

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with primary knee osteoarthritis are selected based on clinical symptoms and radiological imaging with a score at least 2 on the Kellgren & Lawrence scale.
  • Patients without symptomatology or radiographic image of knee osteoarthritis (score <2 on Kellgren & Lawrence scale) will be selected as controls.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • systemic inflammatory disease
  • rheumatic disease
  • liver disease
  • renal failure
  • neoplasm or other chronic disease

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
