Admixture mapping identifies African and Amerindigenous local ancestry loci associated with fetal growth
AssociationN=1,935Fasil Tekola-Ayele et al.(2021)· Human Genetics

A genome-wide admixture mapping study of 1,935 pregnant women from diverse ancestral backgrounds identified 10 African ancestry loci and 3 Amerindigenous ancestry loci associated with fetal growth measures. The lead variant rs13030825 (GALNT13) was strongly associated with longer humerus length in African Americans (β=0.44, P=6.25×10⁻⁶ at week 27; β=0.39, P=7.72×10⁻⁵ at week 40), with an FST of 0.55 between African and European populations. The findings identify ancestry-related maternal genetic loci influencing fetal growth across gestation.

About ALPK1

This gene encodes an alpha kinase. Mice which were homozygous for disrupted copies of this gene exhibited coordination defects (PMID: 21208416). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
