Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of structural spinal deformities
that have a radiological lateral Cobb angle—a measure of spinal curvature—of≥ 10. AIS …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), defined by an age at presentation of 11 to 18 years,
has a prevalence of 0.47% and accounts for approximately 90% of all cases of idiopathic …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common pediatric skeletal disease. We
previously reported a locus on chromosome 10q24. 31 associated with AIS susceptibility in …

Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common cause of three-dimensional deformities of the spine.
Most of the previous studies have been cross-sectional studies to estimate the prevalence in …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a pediatric spinal deformity affecting 2–3% of school-age

Background Despite considerable advances in the past few decades, there is no generally
accepted “top theory or theories” of the etiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This …

Scoliosis is defined as the three-dimensional (3D) structural deformity of the spine with a
radiological lateral Cobb angle (a measure of spinal curvature) of≥ 10° that can be caused …

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 …

Anthropometric data from three groups of adolescent girls-preoperative adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), screened for scoliosis and normals were analysed by comparing …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) causes spinal deformity in 3% of children. Despite a
