Abstract

In this Special Issue of Genes entitled "Genetic Conditions Affecting the Skeleton: Congenital, Idiopathic Scoliosis and Arthrogryposis", evidence is presented which suggests that congenital, idiopathic scoliosis, and arthrogryposis share similar overlapping, but also distinct etiopathogenic mechanisms, including connective tissue and neuromuscular mechanisms [...].
