▁gathered ▁a ▁list ▁of ▁five ▁gen es ▁that ▁likely ▁determine ▁fa cial ▁shape . ▁This ▁is ▁specifically ▁people ▁of ▁European ▁descent . ▁These ▁find ings ▁are ▁supported ▁by ▁rep lic ating ▁phen ot ypes ▁of ▁each ▁specific ▁gene ▁and ▁statistical ▁analysis . ▁Just ▁like ▁find ings ▁elsewhere , ▁the ▁article ▁mentions ▁SM IM 2 3 ▁that ▁likely ▁codes ▁for ▁an ▁unknown ▁transm emb rane ▁protein . ▁There ▁have ▁also ▁been ▁studies ▁where ▁a ▁set ▁of ▁gen es ▁including ▁SM IM 2 3 ▁may ▁influence ▁human ▁height . ▁Furthermore , ▁a ▁great ▁deal ▁of ▁research ▁is ▁being ▁done ▁on ▁chrom os ome ▁ 5 ▁in ▁general ▁to ▁understand ▁roles ▁of ▁certain ▁gen es ▁on ▁it ▁including ▁SM IM 2 3 . ▁This ▁could ▁one ▁day ▁provide ▁insight ▁into ▁this ▁gene ’ s ▁specific ▁roles ▁on ▁the ▁chrom os ome ▁itself . ▁ ▁Inter act ing ▁prote ins ▁ ▁The ▁following ▁prote ins ▁are ▁predicted ▁to ▁interact ▁with ▁SM IM 2 3 . ▁ ▁C ilia ▁And ▁Flag ella ▁Associ ated ▁Prote in ▁ 4 3 ▁also ▁known ▁as ▁CF AP 4 3 ▁or ▁W DR 9 6 ▁is ▁the ▁most ▁confident ▁of ▁the ▁predicted ▁functional ▁partners ▁and ▁is ▁a ▁try pt oph an - as part ic ▁acid ▁repeat ▁domain . ▁ ▁S FR 1 ▁is ▁S WI 5 - dependent ▁recom bin ation ▁repair ▁ 1 ▁which ▁is ▁a ▁component ▁of ▁the ▁S WI 5 - S FR 1 ▁complex , ▁a ▁complex ▁required ▁for ▁double - str and ▁break ▁repair ▁via ▁hom
