We confirmed that COL2A1 is the main monogenic cause of nonsyndromic early-onset OA. However, on the basis of genetic heterogeneity of early-onset OA, we recommend next-generation sequencing for all individuals who undergo joint replacement prior to the age of 45 years. Lifestyle recommendations for prevention should be implemented.
