Description:
CNV-association meta-analysis in 191,161 European adults reveals new loci associated with anthropometric traits Nature Communications, Published online: 29 September 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00556-x Individual SNPs have small effects on anthropometric traits, yet the impact of CNVs has remained largely unknown. Here, Kutalik and co-workers perform a large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of structural variation and find rare CNVs associated with height, weight and BMI with large effect sizes.
