Identification, replication, and fine-mapping of Loci associated with adult height in individuals of african ancestry.

Identification, replication, and fine-mapping of Loci associated with adult height in individuals of african ancestry.

Adult height is a classic polygenic trait of high heritability (h(2) approximately 0.8). More than 180 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified mostly in populations of European descent, are associated with height.
