I would like to know this also........i suffer from severe scoliosis that i think happened when i was rear-ended 3 times back in like 1992. Now i have had to have 2 major back surgeries which ended up with my lumber fused. I am hispanic. But it just so happens that my best friend who is caucasion (i believe she is Swedish disent) was born with it. She has the Harrington Rod. So your guess is as good as mine?????????????? All i know is that it's a very painful condition which has changed my entire life and i've had to get on disability which i received in 2003. One look at my x-rays was all it took.....................and mri results.

Interesting question. I think there are handful of research papers about this issue. One study from Newzeland sensus shows that Europeans are more prone to idiopathic scoliosis but there is no control arm in the study. Below I put the link to this paper for you.
