BACKGROUND/AIM: Hoffa's disease is anterior knee pain presumably stemming from inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia of the infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's pad). The etiology and pathogenesis are unclear, however, and no genetic information about the disease has been published. We report the genetic findings in cells from the fat pad of a patient with Hoffa's disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Infrapatellar fat pad cells from a patient with Hoffa's disease were examined using cytogenetic, RNA sequencing, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and Sanger sequencing techniques.
RESULTS: Cytogenetic examination of short-term cultured cells from the Hoffa's pad revealed a balanced t(12;18)(q14;q21) translocation as the sole chromosomal aberration. RNA sequencing detected an out-of-frame fusion of exon 3 of the gene coding for high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) with exon 9 of the gene coding for WNT inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1). The fusion was subsequently verified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction together with Sanger sequencing.
CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that Hoffa's disease is a neoplastic process with acquired genetic aberrations similar to those found in many benign tumors of connective tissues. The genetic aberrations are presumably acquired by mesenchymal stem cells of the infrapatellar fat pad inducing proliferation and differentiation into adipocytes or other mature connective tissue cells.
