Novel genetic loci affecting facial shape variation in humans

Novel genetic loci affecting facial shape variation in humans

The human face represents a combined set of highly heritable phenotypes, but knowledge on its genetic architecture remains limited, despite the relevance for various fields. A series of genome-wide association studies on 78 facial shape phenotypes quantified from 3-dimensional facial images of 10,11...
