Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) on spondylosis. OBJECTIVE: Leveraging Geisinger's MyCode initiative's multimodal dataset, we aimed to identify genetic associations with degenerative spine disease. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Degenerative spine conditions are a leading cause of global disability; however, the genetic underpinnings of these conditions remain under-investigated....
