Resolving primary pathomechanisms driving idiopathic-like spinal curvature using a new katnb1 scoliosis model

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) refers to abnormal spinal curvatures that occur in the absence of vertebral or neuromuscular defects. IS accounts for 80% of human spinal deformity, afflicts ∼3% of children worldwide, yet pathogenic mechanisms are poorly understood. A key role for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis in zebrafish spine development has been identified. Specifically, defects in cilia motility of brain...
