1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 gene and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes are associated with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). METHODS: A total of 157 patients with OPLL and 222 controls were recruited for a case control association study investigating the relationship...
