A genetic basis to growth and development has been demonstrated in many heritability studies of anthropometrics. Although such measures describe the extent of growth at particular times, they do not fully address the process of growth. We applied a three-parameter curve-fitting function to serial measures of recumbent length from 569 infants (birth to 2 years of age) in 188 families enrolled in the Fels...
