A common SNP of MCPH1 is associated with cranial volume variation in Chinese population.

Human molecular genetics - 1 May 2008

Wang Jin-kai, Li Yi, Su Bing

Abstract excerpt

Microcephaly (MCPH) genes are informative in understanding the genetics and evolution of human brain volume. MCPH1 and abnormal spindle-like MCPH associated (ASPM) are the two known MCPH causing genes that were suggested undergone recent positive selection in human populations. However, previous studies focusing only on the two tag single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) of MCPH1 and ASPM failed to detect any...
