Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: a new oculo-scoliotic type with associated polyneuropathy?

abstract：:Finding the genetic determinants of intermediate quantitative traits, such as serum creatinine and urea, might aid in finding the determinants of disease phenotypes, such as renal failure, that are, in part, defined according to threshold values imposed upon such traits. We evaluated the association between common var...
