Re-sequencing expands our understanding of the phenotypic impact of variants at GWAS loci.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >500 common variants associated with quantitative metabolic traits, but in aggregate such variants explain at most 20-30% of the heritable component of population variation in these traits. To further investigate the impact of genotypic varia...
