The problem with the chart is that it is a self fulfilling prophecy. They plot ScolioScore against Risk of Curve progression. Isn't that what the scolioscore is supposed to predict? If they showed actual curve progression then it would validate the scolioscore--but they don't show that. It would be nice some actual numbers. I haven't been able to find any numbers in any publication. They cover it by saying the data is proprietary.
Let us know if you can find any real data.
I checked the references in the paper that you linked to, regarding genetics data.
James W. Ogilvie and colleagues have identified genetic markers, two major genetic loci and 12 minor loci, related to the development of scoliosis [41].
