Quantifying genetic heterogeneity between continental populations for human height and body mass index

Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in samples of European ancestry have identified thousands of genetic variants associated with complex traits in humans. However, it remains largely unclear whether these associations can be used in non-European populations. Here, we seek to quantify th...
