Genetics of OA. Rare mutations in monogenetic disorders (single causal gene) are in general found in a single family and have a large effect size, resulting in early-onset OA. By contrast, late onset OA is a complex trait and is caused by a large number of common DNA variants together with environmental factors. The effect size of these common variants are in general small, and can vary between individuals in the population.

A: Identified genetic loci for each of the joint sites with genome-wide significant (p < 5 × 10−8) or genome-wide suggestive (p < 10−7) evidence. Shown are the gene names that are annotated nearest to the DNA variant associated. Some of the hip or knee associated loci, show only association in a certain subgroup: Total Joint Replacment (TJR); Total hip replacement (THR); Total knee replacement (TKR); * Only significant in the Asian population. B: Number of identified genetic loci according to the number of cases in the discovery GWAS analysis. Red: OA; blue: Schizophrenia
