Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) is a common lumbar disease that requires surgery. Previous studies have indicated that genetic mutations are implicated in DLSS. However, studies on specific gene mutations are scarce. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a valuable research tool that identifies disease-causing genes and could become an effective strategy to investigate DLSS pathogenesis. METHODS:...
