ABSTRACT: Introduction
Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is a hip joint disorder leading to subsequent osteoarthritis. Previous studies suggested collagen XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) as a potential gene in hip dysplasia and chondrocyte degeneration. However, no genetic association has reported COL11A1-related cellular therapy as treatment of DDH and joint degeneration.Methods and results
We report identified genetic association between COL11A1 locus and DDH with genome-wide association study (GWAS). Further exome sequencing for familial DDH patients was conducted in different populations to identify potential pathogenic Col11A1 variants for familiar DDH. Further studies demonstrated involvement of COL11A1 expression was down-regulated in femoral head cartilage of DDH patients and Col11a1
