dc.description.abstractWe developed a Biomedical Knowledge Graph model that is phenotype and biological functionaware through integrating knowledge from multiple domains in a Neo4j, graph database. All known human genes were assessed through the model to identify potential new risk genes for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures and Achilles tendinopathy (AT). Genes were prioritised and explored in a case–control study comparing participants with ACL ruptures (ACL-R), including a sub-group with non-contact mechanism injuries (ACL-NON), to uninjured control individuals (CON). After gene filtering, 3376 genes, including 411 genes identified through previous whole exome sequencing, were found to be potentially linked to AT and ACL ruptures. Four variants were prioritised: HSPG2:rs2291826A/G, HSPG2:rs2291827G/A, ITGB2:rs2230528C/T and FGF9:rs2274296C/T. The rs2230528 CC genotype was over-represented in the CON group compared to ACL-R (p < 0.001) and ACL-NON (p < 0.001) and the TT genotype and T allele were over-represented in the ACL-R group and ACL-NON compared to CON (p < 0.001) group.en_US
