fine mapping was carried out and theNR6A1gene was found to be a potential gene controlling the number of lumbar vertebrate; later, the c.575T > C missense mutation of this gene was suggested to be the potential mutation affecting the number of lumbar6. However, the QTL located on SSC...
Preoperative counting of thoracic and lumbar vertebrae is crucial in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) due to reported anatomical variations and potential surgical site misidentification. This study investigated characteristics associated with the vertebral number variations AIS, particularly focusing on rib...
These SNPs increased the number of vertebrae with an additive effect of 0.51 and a dominance effect of 0.04 (calculated from Table 2). The change in vertebral number occurred in the thoracic vertebrae; differences in the average number of lumbar vertebrae were not seen among the QTL types (...
Association analysis revealed significant associations between the SNP (rs414302710: A >C) in the exon-8 of NR6A1 gene with the number of lumbar vertebrae (P C) locus of exon-8 of NR6A1 gene in sheep possible influence the number of lumbar vertebrae, which has the potential to be ...
Variations in the number of thoracic or lumbar vertebrae were found in 10% of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis but had been identified in only 0.5% of the radiology reports. Assessment of possible variations in the number of vertebrae is important to help avoid surgery at the ...
Twenty-one patients (5.8%) had an atypical number of thoracic vertebrae, with fourteen having eleven thoracic vertebrae and seven patients having thirteen. Twenty-four patients (6.6%) had an atypical number of lumbar vertebrae, with four having four lumbar vertebrae and twenty patients having six....
