Abstract excerpt
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a common degenerative spinal condition. Recent studies have shown that the incidence of disc herniation and disc degeneration may be explained by genetic factors. In this study, we investigated the link between various polymorphic variants of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), and insulin like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) genes and IVDD...
