Disc degenerative disease in South Africa: A case-control analysis of selected gene variants

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> Disc degenerative disease is a multifactorial disease for which genetics plays an integral role. Several genes, and their variants, associated with the development and progression of disc degenerative disease have been identified. While several studies have investigated these genes in Asian and European populations, no available evidence exists for the South Afri...
