There is some support for
the hypothesis that Actn2 is downstream of a polymorphism in the Hars2
region. But again, due to the 10 to 20 Mb precision of the mapping data, this
relation could be generated by a large number of other polymorphisms close to
Hars2. In the absence of a biological connection between Actn2 and Hars2 we
have a weak hypothesis. If there were a plausible functional connection
between the two genes, then this hypothesis could be quickly upgraded. |
