This premature stop codon causing \u223c80% protein truncation is characterized by a striking geographical pattern of high population differentiation: common in Asia and the Americas (up to 84% in the 1000 Genomes Project East Asians) but rare elsewhere. Here, we generated a Magee2 mouse knockout mimicking the human loss-of-function mutation to study its functional consequences. The Magee2 null mice did not exhibit gross abnormalities apart from enlarged brain structures (13% increased total brain area, P\u2009=\u20090.0022) in hemizygous males. The area of the granular retrosplenial cortex responsible for memory, navigation, and spatial information processing was the most severely affected, exhibiting an enlargement of 34% (P\u2009=\u20093.4\u00d710\u22126). The brain size in homozygous females showed the opposite trend of reduced brain size, although this did not reach statistical significance. With these insights, we performed human association analyses between brain size measurements and rs1343879 genotypes in 141 Chinese volunteers with brain MRI scans, replicating the sexual dimorphism seen in the knockout mouse model. The derived stop gain allele was significantly associated with a larger volume of gray matter in males (P\u2009=\u20090.00094), and smaller volumes of gray (P\u2009=\u20090.00021) and white (P\u2009=\u20090.0015) matter in females. It is unclear whether or not the observed neuroanatomical phenotypes affect behavior or cognition, but it might have been the driving force underlying the positive selection in humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/molbev\/msab243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]],"date-time":"2021-08-12T19:10:21Z","timestamp":1628795421000},"page":"5655-5663","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A
