Figure 1 Hypothesis for a Gene-Environment Interaction Causing Congenital Scoliosis Environmental hypoxia (A), acting on a predisposing genotype (B), affects the segmentation clock that patterns somites (C), the precursors for vertebrae. This gene-environment interaction increases the severity and penetrance of the congenital scoliosis phenotype (D) that occurs sporadically in heterozygous mutants for genes of the Notch pathway.
