The most common reasons for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) failure are aseptic loosening (AL) and prosthetic joint infection (PJI). There is a big clinical challenge to identify the patients with high risk of AL/PJI before the TJA surgery. Although there is evidence that genetic factors contribute to the individual susceptibility to AL/PJI, a predictive model for identification of patients with a high genetic risk of TJA failure has not been developed yet.

We aimed to develop a risk evaluation tool utilising the AL/PJI-associated polymorphisms for identification of patients with high genetic risk of TJA failure based on inflammation-gene polymorphism panel.

Based on allele and genotype frequencies of twenty-five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNF, IL2, IL6, IL10, IL1b, IL-1Ra, MBL2, MMP1, FTO genes and those influencing the serum levels of biomarkers of TJA outcomes (IL6, CCL2/MCP-1, CRP, ESR) in peripheral blood obtained from patients with TJA (AL, n=110; PJI, n=93; no complications, n=123), we calculated a hazard ratio and a relative entropy of alleles and genotypes associated with AL and PJI and their combinations in patient subgroups.

We conducted a risk evaluation tool based on the presence of risk alleles and genotypes in TNF (rs361525, rs1800629), DARC (rs12075), MBL2 (rs11003125) and FTO (rs9939609, rs9930506) genes associated with implant failure (AL/PJI). Of these, FTO gene variations (rs9939609, rs9930506) were associated mainly with PJI (P=0.001, OR=2.04, 95%CI=1.132–2.603; P=0.011, OR=1.72, 95%CI=1.338–3.096) and DARC (rs12075) with AL (P=0.005, OR=1.79, 95%CI=1.193–2.696). This tool calculates a hazard ratio of a combination of SNPs associated with AL and PJI for identification of patients with high and low risk of AL/PJI TJA failure.

We proposed a risk evaluation tool for stratification of patients before the TJA surgery based on the genetic risk of AL/PJI development. The effect size for each genotype combination described in the study is small. Further multiparametric data analysis and studies on an extended patient cohort and other non-genetic and genetic parameters are ongoing.
