Genome-wide association scan for stature in Chinese: evidence for ethnic specific loci
AssociationN=3,571Shu-Feng Lei et al.(2009)· Human Genetics

Genome-wide association study in 618 Northern Chinese and replication in 2,953 Southern Chinese identified 13 contiguous SNPs in the ZNF510/ZNF782 region significantly associated with stature (P = 9.71×10^-5 to 3.11×10^-6, FDR q = 0.036-0.046). The most significant SNP rs10816533 replicated in Southern Chinese (P = 0.029, combined P = 1.55×10^-6), suggesting this is an ethnic-specific locus for height variation in Chinese populations.

About LCORL

This gene encodes a transcription factor that appears to function in spermatogenesis. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with measures of skeletal frame size and adult height. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
