A commentary on 'common SNPs explain a large proportion of the heritability for human height' by Yang et al. (2010).

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Dec 2010

Visscher Peter M, Yang Jian, Goddard Michael E

Abstract excerpt

Recently a paper authored by ourselves and a number of co-authors about the proportion of phenotypic variation in height that is explained by common SNPs was published in Nature Genetics (Yang et al., 2010). Common SNPs explain a large proportion of the heritability for human height (Yang et al.)...
