Schmorl's nodes: Common, highly heritable, and related to lumbar disc disease

25 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Schmorl's nodes (SN) are common, but little is known of their relationship with degenerative change and back pain or genetic and environmental factors influencing their expression. We studied healthy female twin volunteers to determine the prevalence and clinical features associated with SN. METHODS: Serial sagittal T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine...
