Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A genetic association meta-analysis of estrogen receptor α gene (ERα) polymorphisms with idiopathic scoliosis. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the ERα gene polymorphisms correlate with idiopathic scoliosis. Idiopathic scoliosis represents a complex genetic trait under the influence of multiple predisposition genes. Several studies showed that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in ERα was...
