TLDR
For example, this paper found that the prevalence of curves with higher Cobb angles is substantially higher in girls than in boys, and the female to male ratio rises from 1.5:1 to 3:1 and increases substantially with increasing age.Abstract:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common disease with an overall prevalence of 0.47–5.2 % in the current literature. The female to male ratio ranges from 1.5:1 to 3:1 and increases substantially with increasing age. In particular, the prevalence of curves with higher Cobb angles is substantially higher in girls than in boys: The female to male ratio rises from 1.4:1 in curves from 10° to 20° up to 7.2:1 in curves >40°. Curve pattern and prevalence of scoliosis is not only influenced by gender, but also by genetic factors and age of onset. These data obtained from school screening programs have to be interpreted with caution, since methods and cohorts of the different studies are not comparable as age groups of the cohorts and diagnostic criteria differ substantially. We do need data from studies with clear standards of diagnostic criteria and study protocols that are comparable to each other.read more

Prediction of the 3D Spinal Alignment from External Shape of the Back in AIS Patients Using Regression Model
TL;DR: In this article , a regression model that considers correlation between 3D coordinates of the ground-truth internal spinal curve and external asymmetry curve was proposed to predict internal spinal alignment close to the real one.

Effect of Core Stability Training on Correction and Surface Electronic Signals of Paravertebral in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Huijian Weng,Qin Li +1 more
TL;DR: The core stability training can significantly reduce the Cobb angle of AIS and correct the bad posture of scoliosis patients, which may be related to the balance of the electromyographic activities (convex concave side) of paravertebral muscles in AIS patients.

Alagille syndrome is caused by mutations in human Jagged1, which encodes a ligand for Notch1

TL;DR: Four distinct coding mutations in JAG1 are demonstrated, providing evidence that it is the causal gene for Alagille syndrome, and supporting the hypothesis that haploinsufficiency for this gene is one of the mechanisms causing the Alagile syndrome phenotype.

TL;DR: It is concluded that AGS is caused by haploinsufficiency of JAG1, the human homologue of rat Jagged1, which encodes a ligand for the Notch receptor, an attractive candidate gene for a developmental disorder in humans.

TL;DR: The scoliosis prevalence rate of 68% found in this study reveals a rate significantly higher than reported in other studies, and appears to reflect the targeted selection of an elderly group.

TL;DR: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common problem; its prevalence in the general population is about 1.8 percent, if minor curvatures of 5 to 10 degrees are included.
