Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Biomechanical study into the association between genetic polymorphism in COL9A2 and mechanical properties of human nucleus pulposus. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether there is an association between genetic polymorphism in a structural gene, and alterations in the mechanical properties of the intervertebral discs that may predispose to disc degeneration. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Genetic studies have...
