Polymorphism and mapping of the IGF1 gene, and absence of association with stature among African Pygmies.

Human genetics - 1 Aug 1990

Bowcock A, Sartorelli V

Abstract excerpt

Probes detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the insulinlike growth factor (IGF1) gene were isolated and allele frequencies in different human populations determined. No difference was detected between the distribution of IGF1 alleles in Pygmies versus non-Pygmy black Africans, despite the proposal that a defect in the IGF1 gene might be responsible for Pygmy short stature. This was...
