چکیده

To investigate the association of polymorphisms within candidate genes which we hypothesized may contribute to stress fracture predisposition, a case-control, cross- sectional study design was employed. Genotyping 268 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms- SNPs within 17 genes in 385 Israeli young male and female recruits (182 with and 203 without stress fractures). Twenty-five polymorphisms within 9 genes (NR3C1, ANKH, VDR, ROR2, CALCR, IL6, COL1A2, CBG, and LRP4) showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the distribution between stress fracture cases and non stress fracture controls. Seventeen genetic variants were associated with an increased stress fracture risk, and eight variants with a decreased stress fracture risk. None of the SNP associations remained significant after correcting for multiple comparisons (false discovery rate- FDR). Our findings suggest that genes may be involved in stress fracture pathogenesis. Specifically, the CALCR and the VDR genes are intriguing candidates. The putative involvement of these genes in stress fracture predisposition requires analysis of more cases and controls and sequencing the relevant genomic regions, in order to define the specific gene mutations. Key pointsUnderstanding the possible contribution of genetic variants to stress fracture pathogenesis.There is a paucity of data on the involvement of polymorphisms in specific genes in active military personnel/athletes which may contribute to stress fractures development.The results from the current study should facilitate a more comprehensive look at the genetic component of stress fractures.

Stress fractures in parachute regiment recruits.

A survey of stress fractures occurring in recruits at the Depot of The Parachute Regiment was carried out over a one year period from July 1985 to August 1986. A total of 44 fractures in 36 soldiers were diagnosed. The incidence was thus 4.84%, much lower than that found in a recent prospective Israeli study. Only one case of progression to complete fracture was observed during the study. In co...

Distress Levels among Parents of Active Duty Soldiers during Wartime

Objective: Military service is a highly stressful period both for the soldiers serving and for their parents. Surprisingly, parents' experience has been mostly ignored in the research. This study's goal is to shed light on the experience and distress levels of parents of active duty combat soldiers during Operation Protective Edge, a military operation carried out by the Israel Defense Forces d...

Foot Pronation and Stress Fractures of the Femur and Tibia: a Prospective Biomechanical Study

The relation between foot pronation and stress fractures has been suggested. However, evidence based literature is lacking and contradictory. The purpose of this study was to examine whether dynamic parameters of foot pronation are related to the development of stress fractures of the femur and tibia. 2 weeks prior to beginning of 14 weeks of basic military training, 473 infantry recruits were ...

Stress Fractures in Military Recruits

In a prospective study of 295 male Israeli military recruits a 31 % incidence of stress fractures was found. Eighty per cent of the fractures were in the tibial or femoral shaft, while only 8% occurred in the tarsus and metatarsus. Sixty-nine per cent of the femoral stress fractures were asymptomatic, but only 8% of those in the tibia. Even asymptomatic stress fractures do, however, need to be ...

Stress Distribution in Four Restorative Methods in Endodontically Treated Maxillary Premolar: A 3D Finite Element Analysis

Introduction: the Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is critical, and the Awareness of stresses developed by oblique and vertical forces in restorative methods take a great role in treatment plans. Due to the anatomical shape and inherent form of the stress distribution premolars, could be lost by fractures. Some fractures such as vertical fracture which is probable in...
