STUDY DESIGN A genomic screen and statistical linkage analysis of a large sample of families with individuals having idiopathic scoliosis was performed. OBJECTIVES To identify an X-linked susceptibility locus involved in the expression of familial idiopathic scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A large sample of families with individuals having idiopathic scoliosis (202 families; 1198 individuals) were diagnosed through physical examination and radiographic criteria, and genomic screening and genetic linkage analyses were performed. METHODS Model-independent linkage analysis was used to screen genotyping data from 15 X-linked markers in 202 families (1198 individuals). Families were stratified based on the ratio of the likelihood of an X-linked dominant (XLD) inheritance model relative to that of an autosomal dominant (AD) model. Both model-independent and model-dependent linkage analyses were used to identify potential candidate regions. RESULTS When the entire set of families were analyzed with model-independent methods, no result was significant at the 0.05 level for any of the markers. However, when the families were stratified based on the ratio of the likelihood of the X-linked dominant to autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, results from model-dependent linkage analysis of 15% of the families most likely to have X-linked dominant inheritance showed six adjacent markers with positive lod score values and a maximum lod score of 1.69 (theta = 0.2) at marker GATA172D05. A lod score of 2.23 at this same marker was found in a single family with six affected individuals. CONCLUSION The results suggest that a region on the X chromosome may be linked to the expression of familial idiopathic scoliosis in a subset of these families.

Evidence for an X-linked genetic component in familial typical migraine.

Migraine is a common complex disorder that shows strong familial aggregation. There is a general increased prevalence of migraine in females compared with males, with recent studies indicating that migraine affects 18% of females compared with 6% of males. This preponderance of females among migraine sufferers coupled with evidence of an increased risk of migraine in first degree relatives of m...

Evaluation 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...

Genomic study of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in Japan

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common disease. It is a multi-factorial (polygenic) disease controlled by genetic and environmental factors. Studies searching for genetic factors of AIS using linkage and association analyses have been conducted and several susceptibility genes have been reported. This paper reviews the recent progress in the genome-wide association study of AIS in Ja...

A PAX1 enhancer locus is associated with susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis in females

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a common paediatric musculoskeletal disease that displays a strong female bias. By performing a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 3,102 individuals, we identify significant associations with 20p11.22 SNPs for females (P=6.89 × 10(-9)) but not males (P=0.71). This association with IS is also found in independent female cohorts from the United States of America ...

Genome-wide association studies of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis suggest candidate susceptibility genes.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is an unexplained and common spinal deformity seen in otherwise healthy children. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood despite intensive investigation. Although genetic underpinnings are clear, replicated susceptibility loci that could provide insight into etiology have not been forthcoming. To address these issues, we performed genome-wide association ...
