LocusSupplementaryData=HMGA is a family of
high mobility group proteins characterized by anAT-hook . They code for a "small, nonhistone, chromatin-associated protein that has no intrinsic transcriptional activity but can modulate transcription by altering the chromatin architecture".cite journal | author = Mayr C, Hemann MT, Bartel DP | title = Disrupting the pairing between let-7 and Hmga2 enhances oncogenic transformation | journal = Science | volume = 315 | issue = 5818 | pages = 1576–9 | year = 2007 | pmid = 17322030 | doi = 10.1126/science.1137999 | issn = ] A recent study has shown variations in HMGA2 to have a moderate association with adult height.
