Abstract excerpt
In this study, we investigated whether genetic polymorphisms of the interferon gamma (IFNG) gene were associated with the susceptibility of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the Korean population. To observe the association between the IFNG gene and the susceptibility of OPLL, we genotyped 135 OPLL patients and 222 control subjects for a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs2430561)...
