2018-04-03 14:33:09

The single SNP analysis showed allele frequency of rs2289292 (exon 8, the only tagging SNP) and rs3809624 (5’untranslated region) demonstrated significant difference between CS cases and controls (P = 0.017 and P = 0.033)，which suggests genetic variants of TBX6 gene is associated with CS.

Last：The genetic model of rare variant together with common hypomorphic allele of TBX6 involving in the pathogenesis of congenital scoliosis

Next：Genetic polymorphisms of GPR126 are functionally associated with PUMC classifications of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
