Finding missing heritability in less significant Loci and allelic heterogeneity: genetic variation in human height.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many common variants associated with complex traits in human populations. Thus far, most reported variants have relatively small effects and explain only a small proportion of phenotypic variance, leading to the issues of 'missing' her...
