Three haplotype tagging SNPs were significantly associated with sitting height, IGF-I, and head circumference, which were all decreased. A2M encodes alpha-2-macroglobulin, a protease inhibitor and cytokine transporter. TP63 encodes tumour protein p63, a member of a family of transcription factors. DNM3 encodes a member of a family of GTP binding proteins that associate with microtubules and are involved in vesicular transport.
