The genes associated with human height development

Target genes for height increase are as follows, for KO genes supplements or activities that inhibit these genes will increase height.  For OE genes supplements or activities that upregulate these genes will increase height.  For biphasic genes both overexpression and knockout decrease height.

KO(inhibit these):
FANCC
NOG
NPR3
RNF135
SOCS2
STC2
GPC3
IGF2R
GPR30
POMC
FGF21
FGFR3
FGFR1
ICR1

OE(stimulate these):
NPPC
PLAG1
SHOX2
Twist1
CNP
IGF2
IGF1
Akt1
CTGF(CCN2)
Mef2c[chondrocyte specific]


Biphasic Genes(genes need optimal quality):
HHIP
Zfp521
LCN2

Although, the genes involved in juvenile growth are not the same as the ones involved with reinvigorating growth.  Analyzing the genes involved in juvenile growth can help illuminate the pathways involved in endochondral ossification like the HMGA2 gene which is associated with chromatin and let-7.

Identification of ten loci associated with height highlights new biological pathways in human growth.

"Ten newly identified and two previously reported loci were strongly associated with variation in height (P values from 4 × 10-7 to 8 × 10-22). Together, these 12 loci account for ~2% of the population variation in height. Individuals with ≤8 height-increasing alleles and ≥16 height-increasing alleles differ in height by ~3.5 cm. The newly identified loci, along with several additional loci with strongly suggestive associations, encompass both strong biological candidates and unexpected genes, and highlight several pathways (let-7 targets, chromatin remodeling proteins and Hedgehog signaling) as important regulators of human stature. These results expand the picture of the biological regulation of human height and of the genetic architecture of this classical complex trait."<-We've looked at IHH and chromatin remodeling.  Let-7 is associated with osteoblast and type I collagen which means that Type I Collagen and osteoblasts may be more important than first thought.

The role of height-associated loci identified in genome wide association studies in the determination of pediatric stature.

"Human height is considered highly heritable and correlated with certain disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and cancer. Despite environmental influences, genetic factors are known to play an important role in stature determination. A number of genetic determinants of adult height have already been established through genome wide association studies.
To examine 51 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) corresponding to the 46 previously reported genomic loci for height in 8,184 European American children with height measurements. We leveraged genotyping data from our ongoing GWA study of height variation in children in order to query the 51 SNPs in this pediatric cohort.
Sixteen of these SNPs yielded at least nominally significant association to height, representing fifteen different loci including EFEMP1-PNPT1, GPR126, C6orf173, SPAG17, Histone class 1, HLA class III and GDF5-UQCC. Other loci revealed no evidence for association, including HMGA1 and HMGA2. For the 16 associated variants, the genotype score explained 1.64% of the total variation for height z-score.
Among 46 loci that have been reported to associate with adult height to date, at least 15 also contribute to the determination of height in childhood."

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 20 loci that influence adult height.

"Adult height is a model polygenic trait, but there has been limited success in identifying the genes underlying its normal variation. To identify genetic variants influencing adult human height, we used genome-wide association data from 13,665 individuals and genotyped 39 variants in an additional 16,482 samples. We identified 20 variants associated with adult height (P < 5 × 10−7, with 10 reachingP < 1 × 10−10). Combined, the 20 SNPs explain ~3% of height variation, with a ~5 cm difference between the 6.2% of people with 17 or fewer ‘tall’ alleles compared to the 5.5% with 27 or more ‘tall’ alleles. The loci we identified implicate genes in Hedgehog signaling (IHH, HHIP, PTCH1), extracellular matrix (EFEMP1, ADAMTSL3, ACAN) and cancer (CDK6, HMGA2, DLEU7) pathways, and provide new insights into human growth and developmental processes. Finally, our results provide insights into the genetic architecture of a classic quantitative trait."


"Our findings clearly emphasize that Caucasians and East Asians do not share all of the genetic mechanisms for height"

There are several genes associated with methylation and histone related mechanisms.  cGMP and GDF5's involvement in height is as expected.  Also, of note no direct association to HGH(except for SOCS2) on height genes.

Each individual gene has only a small effect on height so maybe genes that have not been discovered yet influence proteins like BMP-2 and TGF-Beta.
