Objectives: Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a significant complication after trauma occurring in 12% to 25% of fractures Although clinical predictors have been studied to determine the likelihood of developing HO, the results have been inconsistent This study examines genetic predictors of the HO phenotype to identify the "at-risk" patient and increase the understanding of the genetic contribution to the formation of HOMethods: We examined the frequency of 61 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1095 consecutive trauma patients with fractures Radiographic studies of these patients were examined for HO in follow-up Ten percent of the patients in the study demonstrated radiographic evidence of HO Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze each SNP independently while adjusting for severity of injury (as measured by the Trauma and Injury Severity Score)Results: Three SNPs (beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, toll-like receptor 4. complement factor H) were identified that were associated with an increased or decreased frequency of HO The less common polymorphism of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor gene was associated with increased risk of HO For toll-like receptor 4 and complement factor H, the less common polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of HOConclusions: The SNPs identified as predictors of HO formation are representative of the adrenergic system, immune system. and the alternative complement system This represents the interplay of multiple pathways that affect bone remodeling, aberrations of which may be found in the genome
