OMIA:001968-9615 : Height, HMGA2-associated body-size variation in Canis lupus familiaris (dog) |

Categories: Growth / size / body region phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 600698 (gene) , 611547 (trait) , 618908 (trait)
Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Disease-related: no
Key variant known: no
Cross-species summary: Height has frequently been used as a textbook example for a polygenic trait. In humans, hundreds of loci with relatively small effects have been identified. In several domestic animal species, a handful of genetic loci has been repeatedly found to have comparatively large effects on height and/or body size.
Molecular basis: Rimbault et al. (2013) identified a "SNP in the 5′ UTR of HMGA2" that has a substantial effect on body size.
