OBJECTIVE: Custom genotyping of markers in families with familial idiopathic scoliosis were used to fine-map candidate regions on chromosomes 9 and 16 in order to identify candidate genes that contribute to this disorder and prioritize them for next-generation sequence analysis. METHODS: Candidate regions on 9q and 16p-16q, previously identified as linked to familial idiopathic scoliosis in a study of 202...
