Expression levels and DNA methylation profiles of the growth gene SHOX in cartilage tissues and chondrocytes

Abstract All attempts to identify male-specific growth genes in humans have failed. This study aimed to clarify why men are taller than women. Microarray-based transcriptome analysis of the cartilage tissues of four adults and chondrocytes of 12 children showed that the median expression levels of S...
