A new single nucleotide polymorphism affects the predisposition to thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament
Abstract Background Thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (T-OPLL) is one of the common factors that cause thoracic spinal stenosis, which results in intractable myelopathy and radiculopathy. Our previous study first reported rs201153092A site mutation in the collagen 6A1 (COL...
