These variants were indeed present in the MT LD-based CS (Fig. 4; and see Additional file 1: Fig. S10), and the LoF variant in RNF11 associated to dwarfism, the 2 bp-deletion in MRC2 associated to the crooked-tail syndrome (CTS) and the missense variant in WWP1 reported in Charlier et al. [20] were even the lead SNP in both MT-GWAS (see Additional file 2: Table S7). The gene discussed is MRC2; the disease is Severe short stature.
