| Research Abstract |
In this study, we surveyed susceptible gene polymorphism for lumber disc degeneration (LDD). We also examined relationship between low back pain (LBP) and radiological abnormalities in lumber region. As a result, we found that COL11A1 gene polymorphism is susceptible for limbus vertebra (LV) in collegiate gymnasts. We also found the possibilities that LV eventually induce LDD. Furthermore, we found that significant association exists between LV and LBP in gymnasts. We finally developed a novel model for LBP occurrence concomitant with genetic polymorphism and radiological abnormalities.
