Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex genetic disorder. This study used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the genetic basis of AIS in 119 patients from 103 families. Our WGS analysis identified known pathogenic or protein-truncating variants in 15 probands, and other strong or moderate candidate variants in 69 additional patients. We found both coding and non-coding mutations, including structural variants. Candidate genes included known AIS genes (e.g., COL11A2, FBN1) and genes linked to other musculoskeletal disorders with scoliosis (e.g., RYR1). Association analysis confirmed four known AIS single-nucleotide polymorphisms in our cohort. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed four gene clusters related to skeletal muscle contraction, extracellular matrix, and gene expression regulation. This WGS-based approach identified clinically relevant genetic variations and biological pathways in AIS patients, offering valuable insights into its complex development.

期刊介绍:
npj Genomic Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing the most important scientific advances in all aspects of genomics and its application in the practice of medicine.
The journal defines genomic medicine as "diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and/or treatment of disease and disorders of the mind and body, using approaches informed or enabled by knowledge of the genome and the molecules it encodes." Relevant and high-impact papers that encompass studies of individuals, families, or populations are considered for publication. An emphasis will include coupling detailed phenotype and genome sequencing information, both enabled by new technologies and informatics, to delineate the underlying aetiology of disease. Clinical recommendations and/or guidelines of how that data should be used in the clinical management of those patients in the study, and others, are also encouraged.
