The variants I found
they’re very rare
so less than 1 per cent of individuals carry them
but their effects are very large
says Gareth Hawkes at the University of Exeter Medical School in the UK
Nearly 30 rare gene variants that decrease people’s height by up to 7 centimetres
or raise it by up to 5 cm
have been discovered by
analysing the genomes of more than 300000 individuals
