Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A genetic association study of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported to be associated with curve progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the association of 5 SNPs with curve progression reported in Chinese with AIS are replicated in Japanese patients with AIS. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: AIS is a common spinal deformity and has a...
