A landmark review in Nature Reviews Genetics dissects the rare and common genetic variants that shape human height. The paper ...

Genetic variation is the foundation of human diversity, enabling differences in traits such as height, eye color, or blood type. Some sequence variants also cause inherited diseases, including sickle ...

Tall or short, our height is largely inherited from our parents. Furthermore, many genetic diseases affect ... 2400 are found ...

However, previous studies have attempted to establish genetic links to human height ... SNP contributes a mere 0.3% of the variation in human height. They also emphasized that future studies ...

Some variation ... both genetic and environmental variation. For example, the weight of a dog is caused partly by its genes - inherited - and partly by what it eats - environmental. The height ...
