Text

Mean-constant curves for height growth velocity between ages 8–16 y, estimated from the JPA-2 model (see Materials and Methods: Statistical Analyses), by sex and rs11107116 genotype (SOCS2 gene, Table S2).Adult height increasing allele (T) is associated with higher PHV2 and earlier timing of pubertal height growth spurt.
