VRTN is Required for the Development of Thoracic Vertebrae in Mammals. [PDF]
Int J Biol Sci, 2018 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.

A Previously Unreported Variant of a Thoracic Vertebra [PDF]
Cureus, 2017 Pathology associated with anomalous transverse processes is uncommon and usually involves elongated C7 transverse processes in the so-called cervical rib syndrome. We report a single adult thoracic vertebra found to have duplicated transverse processes on the left side.
