Genetic determinants of height growth assessed longitudinally from infancy to adulthood in the northern Finland birth cohort 1966.
Recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified dozens of common variants associated with adult height. However, it is unknown how these variants influence height growth during childhood. We derived peak height velocity in infancy (PHV1) and puberty (PHV2) and timing of pubertal height...
