Study Design. Analysis of the estrogen receptor gene of girls with idiopathic scoliosis.Objectives. To determine whether estrogen receptor gene polymorphisms correlate with curve severity of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.Summary of Background Data. Studies suggest that idiopathic scoliosis is a familial condition and that curve progression is related to genetically determined factors, such as skeletal and sexual growth.Methods. A total of 304 girls with idiopathic scoliosis were followed until growth maturation. Height arm span menarcheal age, and age at growth maturation were recorded, and curve severity was measured using Cobb's method, The estrogen receptor gene, which contains polymorphic PvuII and XbaI sites, was amplified form lymphocyte deoxyribonucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction.Results. The mean maximum Cobb measurements for patients with genotyped XX and Xx were greater than for those with genotype xx (P=0.002). The risk of curve progression, defined as progression of >5degrees form initial evaluation, was higher with genotype Xx than with xx (P=0.03). Patients with genotypes XX and Xx had a significantly higher risk for operative treatment than those with genotype xx (21.4%, 24.7% vs. 7.6%, P
