Scoliosis, Isolated, Susceptibility To, 1; Is1

Description

Idiopathic scoliosis is a structurally fixed lateral curvature of the spine with a rotatory component. There is at least a 10 degree curvature as demonstrated by upright spine roentgenograms by the Cobb method (Weinstein, 1994).Scoliosis may occur secondary to other hereditary disorders including Marfan syndrome (OMIM ), dysautonomia (OMIM ), neurofibromatosis (see {162200}), Friedreich ataxia (see {229300}), and muscular dystrophies. Genetic Heterogeneity of Susceptibility to Isolated ScoliosisLoci for isolated scoliosis have been mapped to chromosome 19 (IS1), chromosome 17 (IS2 ), chromosome 8 (IS3 ), chromosome 9q31-q34 (IS4 ), and chromosome 17q25-qter (IS5 ).
