Genes with specificity for expression in the round cell layer of the growth plate are enriched in genomewide association study (GWAS) of human height
1 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Human adult height reflects the outcome of childhood skeletal growth. Growth plate (epiphyseal) chondrocytes are key determinants of height. As epiphyseal chondrocytes mature and proliferate, they pass through three developmental stages, which are organized into three distinct layers in the growth plate: (i) resting (round), (ii) proliferative (flat), and (iii) hypertrophic. Recent genomewide association...
