Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for height and body mass index in ∼700,000 individuals of European ancestry

2018-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) stand as powerful experimental designs for identifying DNA variants associated with complex traits and diseases. In the past decade, both the number of such studies and their sample sizes have increased dramatically. Recent GWAS of height and body mass index (BMI) in ∼250,000 European participants have led to the discovery of ∼700 and ∼100 nearly independent SNPs associated w...
