Variants within the MMP3 (rs679620) and TIMP2 (rs4789932) genes have been associated with the risk of Achilles tendon pathology (ATP) in populations from South Africa and Australia. This study aimed to determine whether these variants were associated with the risk of ATP in British Caucasians. We recruited 118 cases with ATP, including a subset of 25 individuals with Achilles tendon rupture (RUP)...
Achilles tendon pathology (ATP) is a degenerative condition which exhibits excessive tenocyte apoptosis. Tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), caspase-3 (CASP3) and caspase-8 (CASP8) are important regulators of apoptosis. To date, the effects of variation within the genes for TNFR1 and CASP3 as risk factors for ATP have not been described. There is evidence that two single nucleotide polymorphisms...
Achilles tendon pathology (ATP) is a multifactorial condition for which genetic risk factors have been identified. The ADAMTS, ADAM12 and TIMP2 genes encode enzymes that are important regulators of tendon homeostasis. ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 proteins are procollagen N-propeptidases for pro-collagen type I, type II, and type III. ADAMTS2, like COL5A1, has been linked to Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Variants...
