Genome-wide analysis of copy number variants and normal facial variation in a large cohort of Bantu Africans

Genome-wide analysis of copy number variants and normal facial variation in a large cohort of Bantu Africans

Similarity in facial characteristics between relatives suggests a strong genetic component underlies facial variation. While there have been numerous studies of the genetics of facial abnormalities and, more recently, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of no...
