Abstract
This review was conducted to systematize data on the association of matrix proteinase gene polymorphisms (MMP, ADAMTS, ADAM) with the risk of developing osteoarthritis.
Material and methods. A systematic literature search of PubMed and Web of Science databases for the period 2003–2024.
Results. Significant ethnic and population heterogeneity in the distribution of genetic associations was revealed. The most compelling data were obtained for ADAMTS-5 (rs2830585, rs2249350) and ADAMTS-14 (rs4747096) gene polymorphisms, demonstrating reproducible associations across various populations. However, for many other candidate genes (ADAMTS-7, -12, MMP-1, -3, -13), conflicting results are observed, due to both methodological limitations of the studies and true population differences.
Conclusion. The obtained data highlight the complex polygenic nature of hereditary predisposition to osteoarthritis and the need to integrate genetic data with functional studies to establish causal relationships.
