  • RESEARCH PROGRESS OF ROLE OF ESTROGEN AND ESTROGEN RECEPTOR ON ONSET AND PROGRESSION OF ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

    ObjectiveTo review the recent progress in research on the role of estrogen and estrogen receptor on the onset and progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). MethodsThe recently published clinical and experimental 1iterature at home and abroad on abnormality of estrogen and its receptor in AIS was reviewed and summarized. ResultsThere are many abnormal changes of estrogen and estrogen receptor in most AIS patients, including higher serum estrogen concentration, unusual cellular response to estrogen, late age at menarche, and gene polymorphisms of estrogen receptor, which are closely associated with AIS predisposition, curve severity, and scoliosis progression. ConclusionEstrogen and its receptor participate in the onset and progression of AIS by certain mechanisms, but exact mechanism remains indefinite, which needs further research to better define the role of estrogen and its receptor in AIS.
