Large-scale DNA study reveals genetic links to height

Video ThumbnailPlay icon
Researchers have identified over 12,000 genetic variants that influence a person's height. The 12,111 variants, which cluster around parts of the genome associated with skeletal growth, provide a powerful genetic predictor for height. The variants identified explain 40% of the variation in height for people of European ancestry, and around 10-20% for those of non-European ancestry.
