A member asked:
I know that a scoliosis dna test can show the progression of curve, but will it show if you have the gene for scoliosis? or even the cause of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no one gene for idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers have found 28 different genes associated with the risk of scoliosis progression in caucasians. If you are caucasian, they can run a scoliscore to try to identify your risk of scoliosis progression. Traditionally, with a curve <20, you are at low risk of progression.
