Curve characteristics in monozygotic twins with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: 3 new twin pairs and a review of the literature

1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

Most authors state that there is strong evidence for a genetic origin of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This conclusion is mainly based on the fact that the rate of concordance for AIS in monozygotic twins is significantly higher than that in dizygotic twins. However, it is of interest to determine whether all elements of scoliosis formation are genetically predetermined. If this were the case, there...
