Identification of five novel genetic loci related to facial morphology by genome-wide association studies

Abstract Background Face morphology is strongly determined by genetic factors. However, only a small number of genes related to face morphology have been identified to date. Here, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 85 face morphological traits in 7569 Koreans (5643 in t...
