Genome Study Shines Light on Genetic Link to Height
Using a new "genome-scanning" method, a team of scientists has identified the first robust link between genes and stature in humans. A single letter change in a gene called HMGA2 enables people who carry it to gain as much as a centimeter in height. The work provides insights into how genes hardwire growth in humans and suggests that finding additional height-related genes may be feasible. (Sun, 02 Sep 2007 17:28:22 GMT)
