To identify the effects of multi-allelic variation of tandem repeats (TRs) on human traits, we perform direct TR genotyping and phenome-wide association studies in 168,554 individuals from the UK Biobank, identifying 47 TRs showing fine-mapped associations with 73 traits. We replicate 23 of 31 (74%) of these associations in the All of Us cohort. While...
