Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Data on the association between the ACAN (encoded for aggrecan core protein) variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism and lumbar disc degeneration are conflicting, so we performed a meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE: Aggrecan is involved in the shock absorbing function of the lum...
