Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum (HLF) is a common lumbar degeneration disease (LDD) with typical symptoms of low back pain and limb numbness owing to an abnormal pressure on spinal nerves. Previous studies revealed HLF might be caused by fibrosis, inflammatory, and other bio-pathways. However, a global analysis of HLF is needed severely. METHODS: A genome-wide DNA methylation and single-nucleotide...
