Rate of presence of 11 thoracic vertebrae and 6 lumbar vertebrae in asymptomatic Chinese adult volunteers [PDF]
Background An increasing number of studies on spinal morphology in asymptomatic Asian and Western patients have been reported. Variation in spinal anatomy among patients is considered as the cause of wrong-level surgery in up to 40% of cases. The present

Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Loci Associated With Thoracic Vertebrae Number in Sheep [PDF]
The number of vertebrae, especially thoracic vertebrae, is an important economic trait that may influence carcass length and meat production in animals. However, the genetic basis of vertebrae number in sheep is still poorly understood.

VRTN is Required for the Development of Thoracic Vertebrae in Mammals. [PDF]
Vertnin (VRTN) variants are associated with thoracic vertebral number (TVN) in pigs. However, the biological function of VRTN remains poorly understood. Here we first conducted a range of experiments to demonstrate that VRTN is a responsible gene for TVN and two causative variants in the regulatory region of VRTN additively regulate TVN.

Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identified BMPR1A as a Novel Candidate Gene Affecting the Number of Thoracic Vertebrae in a Large White × Minzhu Intercross Pig Population. [PDF]
Simple Summary The number of thoracic vertebrae (NTV) and number of vertebrae (NV) varies among pig breeds with a high correlation of about 0.8. It is important to discover variants associated with the NTV by considering the effect of the NV in pig.

Transsternal surgery on a patient with a pathological lesion in the thoracic vertebrae and severe destruction of the third thoracic vertebra [PDF]
Due to the critical and important structures in the thorax, transsternal surgery on thoracic vertebrae is very complex and rarely performed. We report a case of successful transsternal surgery on thoracic vertebrae.
