Examination of runs of homozygosity in relation to height in an endogamous Namibian population
Abstract Objectives Height is a complex, highly heritable polygenic trait subject to both genetic composition and environmental influences. Recent studies suggest that a large proportion of height heritability is determined by the cumulative effect of many low allele frequency variants across the genome. Previous research has also identified an inverse
