- 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
