Disordered vertebral and rib morphology in pudgy mice. Structural relationships to human scoliosis.

Abstract excerpt

Normal and abnormal vertebral development have been studied over the past 200 years at increasing levels of resolution as techniques for biological investigation have improved. Disordered development of the axial skeleton from the early embryonic period on leads to structurally malformed vertebrae and intervertebral discs and ribs causing the severe deformities of scoliosis, kyphosis, and kyphoscoliosis....
