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 53 SNPs with curve progression reported in white patients with AIS are replicated in Japanese patients with AIS. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Predicting curve progression is...
