TBX6 polymorphism is associated with congenital scoliosis

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.
