▶Genome-wide association analysis with selective genotyping identifies candidate loci for adult height at 8q21.13 and 15q22.33-q23 in MongoliansAssociationN=1,555Tetsuaki Kimura et al.(2008)· Human Genetics
Genome-wide association study in 1,555 Khalkh-Mongolian individuals identified two candidate loci for adult height using selective genotyping and microsatellite/SNP analysis. SNP rs2220456 at 8q21.13 showed the strongest association (P = 0.000016), while SNP rs8038652 in IQCH intron 1 at 15q22.33 was highly significant (P = 0.0003 overall, P = 0.000046 for AA genotype under recessive model, OR = 0.59). The study also identified additional significant SNPs in SMAD3 and FLJ11506 genes in the same region.
