Scientists estimate that about 80 percent of an individual’s height is determined by the DNA sequence variations they have inherited, but which genes these changes are in and what they do to affect height are only partially understood.
Dec 11, 2006 · The short answer to this question is that about 60 to 80 percent of the difference in height between individuals is determined by genetic factors, whereas 20 to 40 percent can be...
Jun 23, 2016 · Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We conducted an individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts from 20 countries, including 180,520 paired ….
Oct 14, 2022 · Largest genome-wide association study achieves ‘the impossible’. Scientists have long known that height is mostly hereditary, but even the geneticists who set out to study height two decades ago weren’t certain they’d ever be able to find the common genetic factors influencing this trait.
