Letter to the editor concerning "CALM1 polymorphism in degenerative cervical myelopathy of the Indian cohort" by Maheshwari S et al. (Eur spine J [2025]: doi.org/10.1007/s00586-025-09090-7).
We appreciate the efforts of Maheshwari et al. in exploring CALM1 polymorphisms in degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) within an Indian cohort. While the study offers valuable insights, we respectfully highlight certain methodological concerns-particularly regarding statistical interpretation, control group heterogeneity, and age differences between groups. Furthermore, interpretations suggesting pathogenicity for a computationally benign variant may benefit from additional functional validation. We believe that addressing these aspects in future studies will enhance the robustness and translational relevance of genetic research in DCM.
期刊介绍:
"European Spine Journal" is a publication founded in response to the increasing trend toward specialization in spinal surgery and spinal pathology in general. The Journal is devoted to all spine related disciplines, including functional and surgical anatomy of the spine, biomechanics and pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and neurology, surgery and outcomes. The aim of "European Spine Journal" is to support the further development of highly innovative spine treatments including but not restricted to surgery and to provide an integrated and balanced view of diagnostic, research and treatment procedures as well as outcomes that will enhance effective collaboration among specialists worldwide. The “European Spine Journal” also participates in education by means of videos, interactive meetings and the endorsement of educative efforts.
Official publication of EUROSPINE, The Spine Society of Europe
