Combined Genome Scans for Body Stature in 6,602 European Twins: Evidence for Common Caucasian Loci
Twin cohorts provide a unique advantage for investigations of the role of genetics and environment in the etiology of variation in common complex traits by reducing the variance due to environment, age, and cohort differences. The GenomEUtwin (http://www.genomeutwin.org) consortium consists of eight...
