Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS): new gene, new variants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Many chromosomic locations have been linked with the AIS, however, no causative genes have been clearly identified. We recently identified two regions (3q12.1 and 5q13.3) containing possibly causative gene(S) of AIS (Edery et al. 2011). Our recent work identified diseasecausing variants in a gene (that we called PFK2) in French AIS families (Patten et al. submitted 2014). We sought to expand on this study and to investigate for novel and rare variants in PFK2 in French Canadian AIS families.

Rare variants in FBN1 and FBN2 are associated with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) causes spinal deformity in 3% of children. Despite a strong genetic basis, few genes have been associated with AIS and the pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In a genome-wide rare variant burden analysis using exome sequence data, we identified fibrillin-1 (FBN1) as the most significantly associated gene with AIS. Based on these results, FBN1 and a rel...
متن کاملEvaluation of Patient Outcome and Satisfaction after Surgical Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Scoliosis Research Society-30
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may lead to physical and mental problems. It also can adversely affect patient satisfaction and the quality of life. In this study, we assessed the outcomes and satisfaction rate after surgical treatment of AIS using scoliosis research society-30 questionnaire (SRS-30). Methods: We enrolled 135 patients with AIS undergoing corrective surgery...
متن کاملA polygenic burden of rare variants across extracellular matrix genes among individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex inherited spinal deformity whose etiology has been elusive. While common genetic variants are associated with AIS, they explain only a small portion of disease risk. To explore the role of rare variants in AIS susceptibility, exome sequence data of 391 severe AIS cases and 843 controls of European ancestry were analyzed using a pathway burden a...
متن کاملThe association study of MMP2 polymorphisms with susceptibility to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in Han Chinese
Objective: Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common pediatric spinal deformity affecting 1% to 3% of the population, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) accounts for approximately 80% of these cases, however, the etiology and pathogenesis of AIS are still uncertain. The current study aims to identify the relationship between MMP2 and AIS predisposition, to investigate the major effect of M...
متن کاملGenome-wide association study identifies new susceptibility loci for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in Chinese girls
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural deformity of the spine affecting millions of children. As a complex disease, the genetic aetiology of AIS remains obscure. Here we report the results of a four-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) conducted in a sample of 4,317 AIS patients and 6,016 controls. Overall, we identify three new susceptibility loci at 1p36.32 near AJAP1 (rs...
