Polymorphic short tandem repeats make widespread contributions to blood and serum traits

2022-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeats (STRs), genomic regions each consisting of a sequence of 1-6 base pairs repeated in succession, represent one of the largest sources of human genetic variation. However, many STR effects are not captured well by standard genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or downstream analyses that are mostly based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To study the involvement of STRs in complex trai...
