Whole-genome sequencing analysis of anthropometric traits in 672,976 individuals reveals convergence between rare and common genetic associations

Gareth Hawkes, Harrison I. W. Wright, Robin N. Beaumont, V. Kartik Chundru, Aimee Hanson, Leigh M. Jackson, Anna Murray, Kashyap Amratlal Patel, Timothy M. Frayling, Caroline Fiona Wright, Andrew R. Wood, Michael N. Weedon

This study uses whole-genome sequencing in 672,976 individuals to show rare and common variants converge in genetic associations for anthropometric traits, with ultra-rare variants explaining less than 10% of heritability.
