An association study to comprehensively clarify variations of genetic determinants of peak height velocity (PHV) during puberty in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). ⋯ Polymorphisms of the rs4794665 in C17orf67 and rs12459350 in DOT1L were associated with combined predisposition to AIS susceptibility and higher pubertal PHV, which strongly mirrored the anthropometric findings of taller pubertal stature and accelerated growth rate described in AIS.

A genetic association study of the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) gene with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) in Russian population. ⋯ This study, for the first time, highlights the importance of TGFB1 gene for the development and progress of AIS. We hypothesize several mechanisms by which the TGFB1 gene may contribute to spinal deformity in patients with AIS.
