A saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height

Loic Yengo, +617 more
- 10 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes.

Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

Adam E. Locke, +481 more

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Andrew R. Wood, +444 more
TL;DR: The results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number of causal variants, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the Impact of Rare and Ultra-rare Coding Variation across the Phenotypic Spectrum

Andrea Ganna, +74 more
TL;DR: A thorough investigation of the impact of rare deleterious coding variants on complex traits, suggesting widespread pleiotropic risk is provided.
