Abstract:
[Summary] The ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament ( OPLL ) is caused by environmental , genetic and other factors.With the development of genomics research , researchers have found that mutations are important factors inducing OPLL . Despite the genomics research on OPLL has made important advances , no highly correlation has been found between OPLL and the exact single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) loci.The pathogenesis of OPLL needs further exploration .
