Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital scoliosis (CS) is a congenital deformity of the spine resulting from abnormal and asymmetrical development of vertebral bodies during pregnancy. However, the etiology and mechanism of CS remain unclear. Epigenetics is the study of heritable variations in gene expression outside of changes in nucleotide sequence.
