Abstract
- Common genetic variants with small effect sizes have been associated with rotator cuff tearing although very few rare, highly penetrant variants have been identified. The purpose of this pilot study was to identify dominant coding variants that segregated with affected individuals in pedigrees at high risk for rotator cuff tears (RCTs). We hypothesize that rare variants contribute to symptomatic RCTs and that they can be identified in related cases with a full-thickness tear requiring surgical management.
