1. Plasma miR-96 and miR-224 levels significantly
increased in those with adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS), compared with controls.
2. Plasma miR-96 and miR-224 correlated with bone quality parameters and bone turnover markers in AIS.
3. Aberrant level of miR-96 and miR-224 may contribute to abnormal osteoblast activities in AIS.
