Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the link between the MTNR1A gene promoter polymorphism (rs2119882) and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
- Researchers analyzed data from 226 AIS patients and 277 control subjects, using PCR-RFLP for genotyping.
- The findings revealed no significant association between the MTNR1A gene polymorphism and the occurrence or severity of scoliosis in the AIS patients.
