Abstract
Although the etiology of most degenerative changes in the lumbar spine is unclear, genetic factors may play an important role. To investigate this link, we reviewed magnetic resonance images of the lumbar spines of identical twins to assess the degree of similarities in degenerative findingsKeywords
