• PRICKLE1 × FOCAD Interaction Revealed by Genome-Wide vQTL Analysis of Human Facial Traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34434215

  ABSTRACT: The human face is a highly complex and variable structure resulting from the intricate coordination of numerous genetic and non-genetic factors. Hundreds of genomic loci impacting quantitative facial features have been identified. While these associations have been shown to influence morphology by altering the mean size and shape of facial measures, their effect on trait variance remains unclear. We conducted a genome-wide association analysis for the variance of 20 quantitative facial measurements in 2,447 European individuals and identified several suggestive variance quantitative trait loci (vQTLs). These vQTLs guided us to conduct an efficient search for gene-by-gene (G × G) interactions, which uncovered an interaction between PRICKLE1 and FOCAD affecting cranial base width.
