Abstract

The article discusses the results of a study which examines whether the melatonin receptor 1A (MNTR1A) gene promoter polymorphism is associated with the predisposition and/of disease severity of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It was found that genotype and allele frequencies were comparable between case and control for SNP rs2119882 and that MTNR1A is not associated with the occurrence or curve severity of AIS.

Abstract

The article looks at the study concerning the melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) and gene polymorphism in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). AIS is a complicated spine deformity that occurs in girls between 10-16 years old. The study examines the variations of MTNR1B gene polymorphism and determines the MTNR1Bs association to the disease of AIS.
