Short high research body regulated by DNA

Until now no one knows for sure why a person's height can vary. However, a recent study conducted in the UK found the genetic makeup plays a major role behind this. The discovery was made after a team of researchers at the University of Exeter Medical School looked at more than 250,000 people from all over Europe. Scientists from 300 institutions were included to examine their genetic makeup or DNA. From there then discovered there are 400 genes that contribute to a person's height. If there is little variation of the genetic material, will significantly influence the future of their height. "As far as we are people who were born from parents who are high will tend to be high as well. Vice versa., But we were surprised there was a more complex explanation behind it," said researcher Professor Tim Frayling as quoted by the BBC, Tuesday (7/10 / 2014). There are several genes that are known so far is anything to do with height, Prof Frayling. But it turns out there are other genes which have not been considered to be related to the formation height, it also played a role. Just as stated Prof. Joel Hirschhorn of Children's Hospital Boston. "For example, genes that turned out to play an important role in regulating bone growth. Previous scholars have never known usefulness, until finally this study appeared," said Prof. Hirschhorn who was not involved in the study. He added that some of the genes found this study also was associated with syndromes that are behind the abnormal growth in children. "Who knows this can later be used as a reference for the treatment of diseases that can be affected height, such as osteoporosis or cancer," he added.
