Abstract excerpt

Human height and body mass index are influenced by a large number of genes, each with small effects, along with environment. To identify common genetic variants associated with these traits, we performed genome-wide association studies in 11,536 individuals composed of Australian twins, family members, and unrelated individuals at approximately 550,000 genotyped SNPs. We identified a single genome-wide...
