Abstract
Degenerative and inflammatory events in osteoarthritis (OA) lead to release Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). Single nucleotide polymorphism has been observed influencing release of matrix degrading enzymes. Our study aims to determine influence of genetic variants in MMPs and it may develop risk for development of OA. In the present study, we have investigated the genotypic and haplotypic relationships of the MMP-1 and MMP-3 genes among OA patients. PCR-RFLP was used to determine the genotypes of 60 osteoarthritis patients and 60 healthy age matched controls. Fisher’s exact test/Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of the investigated SNPs (rs1799750, rs3025058) allele and genotype distribution between osteoarthritis cases and controls. Correlation between each SNP and osteoarthritis risk was assessed under multiple genetic models analysis and haplotype analysis.

Significant difference was observed for the allele and genotype distribution of the SNPs between cases and controls. Analysis of the genetic models (codominant, dominant, overdominant) and haplotype (2G-5A, 1G-5A) block showed significant association with OA susceptibility. Present case-control study is the study among Indian population to explore the potential correlation between MMP-3 polymorphisms and osteoarthritis risk.
