Yang XR, Ng D, Alcorta DA, Liebsch NJ, Sheridan E, Li S et al. (2009). "T (brachyury) gene duplication confers major susceptibility to familial chordoma". Nat Genet 41 (11): 1176-8. DOI:10.1038/ng.454. PMID 19801981. Research Blogging[e]

Based on comparative genomic hybridization data from four affected families, variations in the 6q27 region of the human chromosome 6 were found to be correlated with chordoma, thus suggesting the T gene as a potential susceptibility gene for the disease.
