Objective To investigate associations between single polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1800469 and rs1982073 in the transforming growth factor-β1 gene ( TGF-β1) and knee osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Methods TGF-β1 rs1800469 and rs1982073 were genotyped in patients with knee OA and age- and sex-matched OA-free controls from a Chinese Han population. The association was further analyzed according to gender and age. Results A total of 765 patients with knee OA and 780 controls were included. CT and CT + CC genotypes of rs1982073, and variant C, were associated with a significantly increased risk of knee OA. Stratification analysis showed that the association between the OA risk and rs1982073 CT heterozygotes compared with TT homozygotes was stronger in females and those aged &gt;65 years. In contrast, CT, TT, and CT + TT genotypes of rs1800469 were not significantly associated with the risk of knee OA, even after further stratification analysis for gender and age. Conclusions The TGF-β1 rs1982073 T to C change and the variant C genotype may contribute to knee OA risk in the Chinese Han population.
