Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A genetic association study of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the LMX1A gene with congenital scoliosis (CS) in the Chinese Han population. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether LMX1A genetic polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to CS. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: CS is a lateral curvature of the spine due to congenital vertebral defects, whose exact genetic cause has not been well...
