COL6A1 Polymorphisms Associated With Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum and Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

Abstract

This is the first report on SNPs of COL6A1 in OLF that suggests polymorphisms may be a risk factor for OLF. Our findings indicate that COL6A1 may be a common susceptibility gene for OLF and OPLL in Chinese Han population.
