Abstract

Idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common diseases in the structure of orthopedic pathology. This article presents the preliminary results of the authors' study, which is aimed at a comprehensive study of the features of idiopathic scoliosis in individuals of the Kazakh ethnic group.The purpose of the study - to study the main characteristics of the course of idiopathic scoliosis in individuals of the Kazakh ethnic group.Methods. During the study, the following examination methods were used: history taking, examination, questioning and standing spondylography in two projections. When the diagnosis was confirmed, the patients were divided into the main group, in the absence of deformity - into the control group. Biological material was taken from the subjects of the main group for further study.Results. The study involved 400 patients of the Kazakh ethnic group, who were divided into two groups. The average age of patients in the main group is 24.5+-8.2 years. The prevalence by gender in patients with identified deformity showed that female patients (153 patients - 76.5%) are more likely to develop idiopathic scoliosis than male patients (47 patients – 23.5%) are.Conclusions. Now, there is a need for a detailed study of the etiology and prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis. The expected result of the genetic decoding of the collected biomaterial can contribute to the early detection of patients with this pathology, a possible further prediction of the course of the disease.Key words: idiopathic scoliosis, deformity, genetic predisposition.
