Vitamin D Receptor gene (VDR) transcripts in bone, cartilage, muscles and blood and microarray analysis of vitamin D responsive genes expression in paravertebral muscles of Juvenile and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis patients

Table 4 Comparison of juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis tissue samples

Comparison of QRT-RTPCR results in homonymous bone, articular cartilage, paravertebral muscle tissues and blood samples between group A – Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis and group B- Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Comparison of group A with group B without male patients on the right side of the table. B1, C1, M1 adequately bone, articular cartilage and paravertebral tissue samples from concave side of the curve. B2, C2, M2 adequately bone, articular cartilage and paravertebral tissue samples from convex side of the curve, p<0,05 was considered as a statistically significant (nonparametric Mann Whitney U test).
