Association of rs11190870 near LBX1 with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis susceptibility in a Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate whether rs11190870 near LBX1 correlates with the susceptibility or curve progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) in a Han Chinese population.

Methods

A total of 949 AIS patients and 976 age-matched healthy controls were recruited. All the subjects were genotyped using the PCR-based invader assay. Case-control study and case-only study were performed to define the contribution of rs11190870 to predisposition and curve severity of AIS. Additionally, we further conducted a meta-analysis of the study findings together with those of previously reported studies.

Results

A significant association of rs11190870 with AIS was observed in the Han Chinese population (P = 1.8 × 10(-9); odd ratio = 1.51; 95 % confidence interval = 1.33-1.71), and
