Brief Summary
This study will begin to evaluate the heritability of rotator cuff disease, and begin creation of a powerful resource for future genetic studies of rotator cuff disease.
Detailed Description
Aim 1. We will recruit and study all patients of the PI who undergo MRI for shoulder complaints. The PI is a shoulder and elbow surgeon and treats a variety of shoulder and non-shoulder pathology. All...
