Prevalence, Concordance, and Heritability of Scheuermann Kyphosis Based on a Study of Twins

1 Oct 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to establish a cohort of symptomatic twins with Scheuermann kyphosis to provide estimates of prevalence, concordance, odds ratio, and heritability. These estimates indicate to what extent genetic factors contribute to the etiology of this disease. METHODS: The Odense-based Danish Twin Registry is unique in that it contains data on all 73,000 twin pairs born in Denmark...
