Whole-genome sequencing reveals novel genes in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the thoracic spine in the Chinese population

Abstract Background Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine is a complex, multifactorial disease. Although several genes that are linked to cervical OPLL susceptibility have been reported, specific genetic studies regarding thoracic OPLL are lacking. Whole-genome sequ...
