Insights into the genetic architecture of the human face

2020-05-14

Abstract excerpt

The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture remains intriguingly challenging. Applying GWAS to multivariate shape phenotypes, we identified 203 genomic regions associated with normal-range facial variation, 117 of which are novel. The associated regions are enriched for both genes relevant to craniofacial and limb morphogenesis and enhancer activity in cranial neura...
