Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a common birth defect that causes severe deformities of one or both feet. Genetics have been proven to play a key role in the risk of CTEV. Our study aimed to evaluate the genetic susceptibility of common variants in the SOX9 gene to CTEV in a Han Chinese population. METHODS: In this study, we recruited 2,205 study participants, including 692 CTEV patients and...
