Evidence of polygenic selection on human stature inferred from spatial distribution of allele frequencies

2016-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Spatial patterns of allele frequencies reveal a clear signal of natural (or sexual) selection on human height. The average frequency of all hits (N=693) and the top significant 66 common genetic variants (pruned for linkage disequilibrium) for 26 populations belonging to 5 sub-continental human groups were significantly correlated to average phenotypic population height. The method of correlated vectors provided a...
