Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: Immunohistochemical and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of five susceptibility genes (RSPO2, HAO1, CCDC91, RHPH9, and STK38L) for human ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligaments (OPLL) identified in a genome-wide association study. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Detailed expression and...
