Genetics of human stature: Lessons from genome-wide association studies.

Hormone research in paediatrics - 1 Jan 2011

Perola Markus

Abstract excerpt

Over the past 2 to 3 years, linkage disequilibrium mapping methods, or genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have made a seminal turn in the molecular genetic studies of complex human traits such as height, i.e., stature. Human stature is a highly heritable trait across populations and the phenotype for stature is easily measured and related to many other traits; therefore, it is available in most studies...
