The single SNP analysis showed allele frequency of rs2289292 (exon 8, the only tagging SNP) and rs3809624 (5’untranslated region) demonstrated significant difference between CS cases and controls (P = 0.017 and P = 0.033)，which suggests genetic variants of TBX6 gene is associated with CS.
GPR126 has been identified to be associated with AIS (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis) in different populations, but data on the northern Chinese population are unavailable. Additionally, it is important to know the exact clinical phenotypes associated with specific genetic polymorphisms.
On February 9th, 2017, Dr. Nan Wu was invited to give an oral presentation at the annual meeting of International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) at Paris, France. He introduced our findings about TBX6 gene discovery in world-wide congenital scoliosis patient cohorts.
On July 27th, 2017, Dr. Nan Wu was invited to present at the the 35th annual meeting of Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research (JSBMR), Fukuoka, Japan. He introduced our work about an undefined subtype of congenital scoliosis.
Professoer Zhihong Wu was invited to the 60th year anniversary of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS). His introduced the DISCO project as well as our previously work focusing on scoliosis phenotype. On the other hand, he also described our contribution to the development of genetic diagnostic strategies of scoliosis

This study is the first proteomic research to delineate the total and differential serum proteins in TBX6 haploinsufficiency-caused CS. The proteins discovered in this experiment may serve as potential biomarkers for CS, and lipid metabolism might play important roles in the pathogenesis of CS.
Dr. Nan Wu was invited to present at the Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada, where he introduced the genetic studies of bone and joint disease of PUMCH On October 24th, 2016.
