Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The etiology of rotator cuff tearing is likely multifactorial, including a potential genetic predisposition. The purpose of the study was to identify genetic variants associated with rotator cuff tearing utilizing the UK Biobank (UKB) cohort, confirm variants using a separate genetic database, and evaluate tissue expression of genes with associated variants following rotator cuff tearing using RNA...
