Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Multiple Loci Influencing Normal Human Facial Morphology

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Multiple Loci Influencing Normal Human Facial Morphology

Numerous lines of evidence point to a genetic basis for facial morphology in humans, yet little is known about how specific genetic variants relate to the phenotypic expression of many common facial features. We conducted genome-wide association meta-analyses of 20 quantitative facial measurements d...
