So, is there a gene for height? No! But, there are 12,111 different bits of your genome that explain 40-50pc of height variation (if you are big European, YMMV) A saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height - https://t.co/TA
Genetics of height can be a model for discovery of genetic variation involved in common diseases. How this knowledge can be usefully translated in treatment is a bigger challenge.
