Strong association of the polymorphisms in PBEF1 and knee OA risk: a two-stage population-based study in China.

The association of Pre-B cell colony enhancing factor 1 (PBEF1) with obesity, together with its pro-inflammatory properties suggests that PBEF1 might be another crucial mediator that links inflammation with obesity and primary osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesized that polymorphisms in PBEF1 may modify the risk of developing OA. Thus we systematically screened 4 tagging polymorphisms (rs4730153, rs2058540, rs3801267 and rs16872158) in PBEF1 and evaluated the association between the genetic variants and OA risk in a two-stage case-control study including 196 cases and 442 controls in the first stage and 143 cases and 238 controls in the second stage.
