Epigenetic and genetic components of height regulation

Epigenetic and genetic components of height regulation

Adult height has a strong genetic component and is highly heritable. Here the authors whole-genome sequence 8,453 Icelanders and find novel parent-of-origin derived associations in IGF2-H19 and DLK1-MEG3.
