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 SCMH1

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity and histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in heterochromatin formation and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; chromatin remodeling; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus.
