Relationships between lumber disc degeneration and genetic factors in athletes

本研究对腰椎间盘退变（LDD）的易感基因多态性进行了调查。我们还研究了下腰痛（LBP）与腰椎放射学异常之间的关系。结果表明，COL11 A1基因多态性与大学生体操运动员利姆布斯椎体（LV）的发生有关。我们还发现LV最终诱发LDD的可能性。此外，我们发现体操运动员的LV和LBP之间存在显著的关联。最后，我们开发了一种新的模型，LBP的发生伴随着遗传多态性和放射学异常。

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.
