Progress in genome-wide association studies of human height.

Hormone research - 1 Apr 2009

Hirschhorn Joel N, Lettre Guillaume

Abstract excerpt

Human height (stature) is a strongly genetic trait, with up to 90% of the variation in height within a population determined by a combination of multiple inherited factors. Recent advances in genetics and genomics now permit comprehensive genome-wide surveys of common genetic variations in those variants that are associated with stature. The first such studies have borne fruit, identifying over 40 genetic loci...
