Seven SNPs in or adjacent to the genes SF3B4/SV2A, LCORL, UQCC, DLEU7, HHIP and HIST1H1D showed an association (p<0.05) with PHV1 (Table 2). All these SNPs except rs6854783 in HHIP were also associated with adult height in our study. All the SNP-PHV1 associations were in the same direction as SNP associations with adult height in the previous GWA studies and in the current study.
