Whole-exome sequence analysis of anthropometric traits illustrates challenges in identifying effects of rare genetic variants

Summary: Anthropometric traits, measuring body size and shape, are highly heritable and significant clinical risk factors for cardiometabolic disorders. These traits have been extensively studied in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), with hundreds of genome-wide significant loci identified. We...
