Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Genetic variation in several candidate genes has been associated with short stature. Recently, a high-mobility group A2 (HMGA2) gene SNP has been robustly associated with height in the general population. Only few have attempted to study these genes in extremely tall stature. We therefore studied common genetic variation in candidate genes for height in extremely tall Dutch. METHODS: We included...
