Rare
congenital
gender bias toward men
most common at C6 and link to spondylolisthesis and spina bifida

Rare in the general population
within typical percent in the native Alaskan population
seems to be acquired
gender bias toward men
most common at S1 and link to activities such as kayaking and harpooning
