Genotype and allele frequency distributions in patients (n = 80) with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) and healthy controls (n = 160).

Gene, polymorphism	Genotype, allele	Cases %	Controls %	p value
IL-6  rs1800795	GG	52.5	35.0	0.008
	CG	36.3	38.8
	CC	11.3	26.3
	G	70.6	54.4	0.0006
	C	29.4	45.6

A value of p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. IL-6 indicates interleukin-6.
