Studies have found that genes related to increased height are also linked with oncogenic pathways, such as p53, c‐Myc, and SMAD3.39 Several height‐related SNPs have also been reported to be associated with risk of testicular and prostate cancer.40 In our analysis, we found height‐related genes were enriched in eight KEGG pathways which play important roles in both development and carcinogenesis. Here, MYC is linked to prostate carcinoma.
