Hypertrophic scars (HTS) occur in 30–72% patients following thermal injury. Risk factors include skin color, female gender, young age, burn site, & burn severity. Recent correlations between genetic variations and clinical conditions suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be associated with HTS formation. We hypothesized that a SNP in the p27kip1 gene (rs36228499) previously associated with decreased restenosis after coronary stenting would be associated with lower Vancouver scar scale (VSS) measurements and decreased itching. Patient & injury characteristics were collected from adults with thermal burns. VSS scores were calculated at 4–9 months following injury. Genotyping was performed using real time PCR. Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors for hypertrophic scar as measured by a VSS score >7. 300 subjects had a median age of 39 years (range 18–91); 69% were male & median burn size was 7% TBSA (range 0.25–80). Consistent with literature, the p27kip1 variant SNP had an allele frequency of 40%, but was not associated with reduced HTS formation or lower itch scores in any genetic model. HTS formation was associated with American Indian/Alaskan Native race (OR, 12.2; P=0.02), facial burns (OR, 9.4; P=0.04), and burn size ≥20% TBSA (OR, 1.99; P=0.03). Whereas the p27kip1 SNP may protect against vascular fibroproliferation, the effect cannot be generalized to cutaneous scars. Our study suggests that American Indian/Alaskan Native race, facial burns, and higher %TBSA are independent risk factors for HTS. The American Indian/Alaskan Native association suggests that there are potentially yet-to-be-identified genetic variants.
