A number of studies have been performed for association between polymorphisms of collagen genes and risk of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) but yielded inconsistent results. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association of collagen IX alpha 2 (COL9A2) Trp2, collagen IX alpha 3 (COL9A3) Trp3, collagen I alpha 1 (COL1A1) Sp1 and collagen XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) C4603T polymorphisms with susceptibility to IVDD.<h4>Method</h4>Eligible studies were retrieved by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science prior to 31 March, 2021. Odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for association strength.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 28 eligible studies (31 datasets comprising 5497 cases and 5335 controls) were included. COL9A2 Trp2 carriers had an increased risk of IVDD than non-carriers in overall population (OR = 1.43, 95% CI 0.99-2.06, P = 0.058), which did not reach statistical significance. However, Trp2 carriers had 2.62-fold (95% CI 1.15-6.01, P = 0.022) risk than non-carriers in Caucasians. COL9A3 Trp3 was not associated with IVDD risk (OR = 1.28, 95% CI 0.81-2.02, P = 0.299). T allele and TT genotype of COL1A1 Sp1 (+ 1245G > T) were correlated with increased risk of IVDD. Significant associations were found between COL11A1 C4603T and IVDD risk under allelic (OR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.20-1.48), dominant (OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.26-1.67), recessive (OR = 1.55, 95% CI 1.21-1.98) and homozygote model (OR = 1.81, 95% CI 1.40-2.34).<h4>Conclusions</h4>COL1A1 Sp1 and COL11A1 C4603T polymorphism are associated with IVDD risk while the predictive roles of collagen IX gene Trp2/3 need verification in more large-scale studies.Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research616https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8522091biostudies-literatureAssociation between polymorphisms of collagen genes and susceptibility to intervertebral disc degeneration: a meta-analysis.PMC8522091Liang CXie GYu HZhang QfalseAssociation between polymorphisms of collagen genes and susceptibility to intervertebral disc degeneration: a meta-analysis.<h4>Background</h4>Collagens are important structural components of intervertebral disc.
