Rare protein-coding variation and the genetic architecture of height in >1.4 million individuals

2026-06-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary paragraph</h4> Highly heritable, polygenic, and easily measured, adult height has long been the model trait in human genetics 1,2 . While the landscape of height-associated common genetic variation has been studied extensively 2 , rare variation remains relatively unexplored 1 . Using rare protein-altering variants in a discovery set of 826,066 exomes, we identify 207 height-associated genes - 98%...
