简要总结
The present study is proposed for the identification of phenotype, biochemical and genetic markers in adult symptomatic spinal osteochondrosis to promote the early diagnosis of this pathological condition and to establish possible therapeutic targets that favor a conservative approach aimed at treating patients.
详细描述
The primary outcome is to determine the association between specific phenotypic characteristics of osteochondrosis, in particular linked to osteo-cartilaginous degeneration, with the identified vitamin D receptor genotypes.
The secondary outcomes are to evaluate the circulating levels of the osteo-cartilage degradation markers, of the vitamin D and to evaluate the association of the osteochondrosis phenotype with variants in genes involved in inflammatory processes.

主要结局
association of spinal osteochondrosis with specific VDR genotypes
时间窗: 1st year
Determine the association between specific phenotypic characteristics of osteochondrosis identified by means of MRI, in particular the presence of wavy/Irregular, notched endplates or Shmorl's nodes with FokI, BsmI, ApaI, TaqI VDR genotypes, assessed by means of TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays
次要结局
- association of spinal osteochondrosis with specific biochemical markers(2nd year)
