Diagnosing Scoliosis: Isabelle's Story

2010-03-11 1

Isabelle, is an active 11 year-old, recently diagnosed with scoliosis. The diagnosis was made with the help of the SCOLISCORE™ AIS Prognostic Test. Scoliosis affects about 7 million people in the United States and most are diagnosed between the ages of 10 and 15. Until now, there has not been a clinically validated way to predict, at the time of diagnosis, which patients curves are likely to progress and which ones are not. The SCOLISCORE™ AIS Prognostic Test is the first clinically validated, saliva based genetic test that helps predict the likelihood of spinal curve progression. When combined with existing radiographic and clinical information, the ScoliScore Test enables physicians and families to make personalized patient care decisions.
