2. FLNB in Skeletal Diseases Mutations in FLNB lead to various skeletal malformations‚ involving long bone‚ joints and vertebra. There were five FLNB-related skeletal disorders been reported so far‚ including spondylocarpotarsal synostosis (SCT)‚ Larsen syndrome‚ atelosteogenesis (AO)‚ boomerang dysplasia‚ and isolated congenital talipes equinovarus.

had established a experiment that included 108 young men between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two‚ placing a tape that went from the head to the back observing how much the tape moved downed over the ink mark that was place over the prominent vertebra. He found that out of 108 only one didn’t move the tape‚ he was trying to explain the complexity of re-teaching one-self how to sit properly with proper posture. “ It is not surprising that most of these young men could not change their habitual
