| Title | TBX6-associated congenital scoliosis (TACS) as a clinically distinguishable subtype of congenital scoliosis |
| Organism | Homo sapiens |
| Summary | To characterize clinically measurable endophenotypes, implicating the TBX6 compound inheritance model.Patients with congenital scoliosis (CS) from China, Japan, and the USA were studied. Clinically measurable endophenotypes were compared according to the TBX6 genotypes. A clinical diagnostic algorithm (TACScore) was developed to assist in clinical recognition of TBX6-associated CS (TACS). In conclusion, TACS is a clinically distinguishable entity with consistent clinically measurable endophenotypes. The type and distribution of vertebral column abnormalities in TBX6/Tbx6 compound inheritance implicate subtle perturbations in gene dosage as a cause of spine developmental birth defects responsible for about 10% of CS. |
