P211: Molecular diagnosis actively and immediately changes treatment plan in patients clinically diagnosed with congenital or idiopathic spinal deformities

Patients with syndromic spinal deformities lacking typical features are likely to be misdiagnosed with congenital or idiopathic spinal deformities, the most common deformity types without clear etiologies or diagnostic molecular testing. Recently, molecular testing has increasingly been used to tailor management plans. However, in spinal surgeries, surgical and non-surgical treatment decisions still primarily depend on clinically observable spinal and additional features.
