Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between an aggrecan variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism and intervertebral disc degeneration in middle-aged Finnish men. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: An association between the aggrecan VNTR polymorphism and multilevel disc degeneration has been previously reported in young Japanese women. METHODS: Lumbar discs of 132 men...
