Revision surgery due to aseptic loosening after total knee arthroplasty

near EIF4A1P3 · rs73546868

What the study found

Who was studied 25 cases from twins, 487 controls from twins.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 7.90 times the odds of Revision surgery due to aseptic loosening after total knee arthroplasty (95% confidence interval 4.09-15.26); p = 8 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.13 — between genes, 30 kb from EIF4A1P3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Revision surgery due to aseptic loosening after total knee arthroplasty. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Revision surgery due to aseptic loosening after total knee arthroplasty. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Revision surgery due to aseptic loosening after total knee arthroplasty. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs73546868

What is rs73546868?

rs73546868 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EIF4A1P3 gene. Published research associates it with revision surgery due to aseptic loosening after total knee arthroplasty. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73546868 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs73546868 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume 2022, PMID:34982741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
