Polymorphisms in paired box 1 gene were associated with susceptibility of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A case & #8211;control study
Conclusions: PAX-1 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of developing the AIS and with curve severity and can be used as a biomarker to map the risk of developing surgical-grade AIS, guiding the treatment of patients.
