Extended haplotypes in the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor gene (GHRHR) are associated with normal variation in height.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the gene for growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) cause isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) but this gene has not been found to affect normal variation in height. We performed a whole genome linkage analysis for height in a population from northern Sweden and identified a region on chromosome 7 with a lod-score of 4.7. The GHRHR gene is located in this region and typing of tagSNPs...
