BMP-4 Polymorphisms in the Susceptibility of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy and its Outcome after Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion

BMP-4 Polymorphisms in the Susceptibility of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy and its Outcome after Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion

Background: To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of bone morphogenic proteins-4 (BMP-4) gene and the susceptibility of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and its outcome after surgical treatment. Method: A total of 499 patients with CSM and 602 healthy vol...
