Genetic and environmental effects on disc degeneration by phenotype and spinal level: a multivariate twin study.

Spine - 1 Dec 2008

Battié Michele C, Videman Tapio, Levälahti Esko, Gill Kevin, Kaprio Jaakko

Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: A classic twin study with multivariate analyses was conducted. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to further clarify the presence and magnitude of genetic influences on disc degeneration, and to better understand the phenomenon of disc degeneration through comparisons of genetic and environmental influences on specific degenerative signs and different lumbar levels. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Previous studies...
