Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of genetic factors on idiopathic scoliosis (IS) and genetic modes through genetic epidemiological survey on IS in Chongqing City, China, and to determine whether SH3GL1, GADD45B, and FGF22 in the chromosome 19p13.3 are the pathogenic genes of IS through genetic sequence analysis. METHODS: 214 nuclear families were investigated to analyse the age incidence, familial aggregation,...
