COLUNA E GENÉTICA: VOCÊ HERDOU A HÉRNIA DOS SEUS PAIS?

In this video, you'll understand why herniated discs and disc degeneration have a much larger hereditary component than previously thought—and why this completely changes the way you think about these diseases. Studies with identical twins show that up to 74% of disc degeneration is determined by genetics, independent of physical exertion, occupation, or body weight. We explain which genes have already been identified—the vitamin D receptor, aggrecan, collagen types IX and XI, and matrix metalloproteinases—what each one does in the disc, and why most of these discoveries have not yet reached clinical practice. You'll also understand why young people can have severe disc degeneration while older people can have normal discs, how smoking interacts with genetic predisposition to accelerate degeneration, and what large twin studies have taught us about the real role of heavy work, body vibration, and sedentary lifestyle in the fate of the intervertebral disc.
