Stature is a classical and highly heritable complex trait, with 80%–90% of variation
explained by genetic factors. In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) …

Genetic predictions of height differ significantly among human populations and these
differences are too large to be explained by random genetic drift. This observation has been …

Height has been studied in human genetics since the late 1800s. We review what we have
learned about the genetic architecture of this trait from the resemblance between relatives …

Traits that are attractive to the opposite sex are often positively correlated when scaled such
that scores increase with attractiveness, and this correlation typically has a genetic …

Recently a paper authored by ourselves and a number of co-authors about the proportion of
phenotypic variation in height that is explained by common SNPs was published in Nature …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many common variants
associated with complex traits in human populations. Thus far, most reported variants have …

Adult height is the most widely genetically studied common trait in humans; however, the
trait variance explainable by currently known height-associated single nucleotide …

Genetic predictions of height differ among human populations and these differences have
been interpreted as evidence of polygenic adaptation. These differences were first detected …

Human height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait. Until recently, there had been
limited success in identifying the specific genetic variants that explain normal variation of …

Across-nation differences in the mean values for complex traits are common,,,,,,,, but the
reasons for these differences are unknown. Here we find that many independent loci …
