INTERVIEW: NEW PROGNOSTIC GENETIC TEST FOR ADOLESCENT SCOLIOSIS - Interview with Dr. Baron Lonner, director of Scoliosis and Spine Associates
A new cutting-edge but simple saliva-based DNA test can reveal how badly a spinal curvature will progress. The test will also identify those patients whose curves will remain small.
During this week's podcast Dr. Baron Lonner discusses the ScoliScoreT , which will allow physicians to predict the course of their patient's scoliosis disease. ScoliScore test results range from 1 to 200 and are broken down into three categories. The lower a score, the less likely the patient will develop a curve that is severe enough to require surgical intervention. The novel approach is expected to revolutionize the manner in which doctors manage and treat patients with scoliosis.
