The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is at high risk of muscle injury, and collagen XXII is strictly expressed at tissue junctions, specifically at the MTJ. We investigated the hypothesis that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to collagen type XXII alpha-1 chain gene (COL22A1) mRNA expression are associated with susceptibility to muscle injury in athletes. History of muscle injury was assessed in 3,320 Japanese athletes using a questionnaire, and two expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) SNPs for COL22A1 (rs11784270 A/C and rs6577958 T/C) were analyzed using the TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay. rs11784270 [odds ratio (OR)= 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.27-2.62, P = 0.0006] and rs6577958 (OR =1.45, 95% CI =1.10-1.94, P = 0.0083) were significantly associated with muscle injury under A and T allele additive genetic models, respectively. These results suggest that the expression level of COL22A1 at the MTJ influences muscle injury risk in athletes.
