<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p id="P55">Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explain one-fifth of heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that the most strongly associated ~2,000, ~3,700 and ~9,500 SNPs explained ~21%, ~24% and ~29% of phenotypic variance. Furthermore, all common variants together captured the majority (60%) of heritability. The 697 variants clustered in 423 loci enriched for genes, pathways, and tissue-types known to be involved in growth and together implicated genes and pathways not highlighted in earlier efforts, such as signaling by fibroblast growth factors, WNT/beta-catenin, and chondroitin sulfate-related genes. We identified several genes and pathways not previously connected with human skeletal growth, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid. Our results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number (thousands) of causal variants.</p>

<abstract>
<p id="P55">Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explain one-fifth of heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that the most strongly associated ~2,000, ~3,700 and ~9,500 SNPs explained ~21%, ~24% and ~29% of phenotypic variance. Furthermore, all common variants together captured the majority (60%) of heritability. The 697 variants clustered in 423 loci enriched for genes, pathways, and tissue-types known to be involved in growth and together implicated genes and pathways not highlighted in earlier efforts, such as signaling by fibroblast growth factors, WNT/beta-catenin, and chondroitin sulfate-related genes. We identified several genes and pathways not previously connected with human skeletal growth, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid. Our results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number (thousands) of causal variants.</p>

<p id="P56">Height is a classical polygenic trait that has provided general insights into the genetic architecture of common human traits and diseases, and into the prospects and challenges of different methods used to identify genetic risk factors. Studies consistently estimate that the additive genetic contribution to normal variation in adult height (“narrow sense heritability”) is approximately 80%
<sup>
<xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
-
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
</sup>
. Previous analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of adult height showed that common variants together account for 50% of this heritable contribution to height variation
<sup>
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
</sup>
. The most recent GWAS of adult height identified 180 loci, which together highlighted many genes relevant to human skeletal growth that had not been implicated in previous studies
<sup>
<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
</sup>
. Common variants in these loci, however, only accounted for 10% of the phenotypic variation (~12% of heritability). Here, we report results from a GWAS meta-analysis of adult height in 253,288 individuals of European ancestry. We show that additive contributions of fewer than 10,000 SNPs (at
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−3</sup>
) can account for 36% of the heritability of adult height. Variants reaching genome-wide significance (
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−8</sup>
) in this larger study (697 SNPs) clustered in loci, were substantially enriched for regulatory variants, and implicated multiple known and previously unknown genes and pathways relevant to growth. More broadly, our results provide evidence that increasing GWAS sample sizes to the order of 100,000s, now plausible for many common traits, will likely continue to identify the variants and loci that close the “missing heritability” gap, whilst improving knowledge of the biology of those traits.</p>

<title>Results</title>
<p id="P57">The overall analysis strategy is illustrated in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Figure 1</xref>
. We first performed a GWAS meta-analysis of adult height using summary statistics from 79 studies consisting of 253,288 individuals of European ancestry (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
). We identified 697 SNPs that reached genome-wide significance (

(

<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Figs. 2-3</xref>
). The 697 SNPs clustered in 423 loci, with a locus defined as one or multiple jointly associated SNPs located within ±1Mb of each other. Most of these 697 SNPs are uncorrelated although those in close physical proximity (e.g. < 1Mb) may be in partial LD (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
for LD between adjacent pairs of the 697 SNPs). The clustering of signals was non-random (empirical enrichment of 1.4 fold,
<italic>P</italic>
<1×10
<sup>−4</sup>
) with 90, 26 and 31 loci containing 2, 3 and ≥ 4 signals respectively, (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Tables 1</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">2</xref>
). We observed strong evidence of clustering of association signals within loci across a range of locus sizes, from 100kb to 1.25Mb, but the clustering was almost entirely driven by variants within 250kb of index SNPs (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Figure 4</xref>
, in some loci, multiple signals cluster tightly around a single gene, whereas in other cases, the clustering of associated variants is likely due to multiple different height-related genes being in close proximity.</p>
<p id="P58">Of the 697 SNPs, 403 were represented on the Metabochip array
<sup>
<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
</sup>
. Using data from 80,067 individuals genotyped on the Metabochip array from 37 independent studies, we observed very strong evidence of concordance of effect sizes between the Metabochip and GWAS samples (
<italic>P</italic>
= 1.9×10
<sup>−160</sup>
); and >99% of variants were directionally consistent between Metabochip and GWAS (

<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>
, and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD4">Supplementary Table 3</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P59">We observed a large genome-wide ‘inflation’ factor of the test statistic for association even after we corrected each study’s test statistics by its individual inflation factor (single λ
<sub>GC</sub>
= 1.94). At least two phenomena could have contributed to this observation. First, as described previously
<sup>
<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
</sup>
, highly polygenic models of inheritance are expected to increase the genomic inflation factor to levels comparable to what we observe. Second, height is particularly susceptible to confounding by population ancestry (stratification), which can also lead to inflation of the test statistics. We addressed these possibilities by comparing our results with those obtained using more stringent corrections for stratification (linear mixed models), and with results obtained in subsets of studies in which a purely family-based analysis was feasible, and by performing a within-family prediction analysis which partitioned the variance in the genetic predictor into the contributions of true associations and population stratification.</p>
<p id="P60">Our linear mixed model (LMM) analyses, performed in a subset of 15 individual studies comprising 59,380 individuals, provided strong evidence that the inflated statistics were driven predominantly by the highly polygenic nature of the trait. This approach utilizes a genomic relationship matrix (GRM) calculated through genome-wide SNP data to correct for distant relatedness between all pairs of individuals within a study. This resulted in a single λ
<sub>GC</sub>
of 1.20. This value was entirely consistent with the single λ
<sub>GC</sub>
of 1.20 obtained from the standard GWAS analysis of the same individuals and a single λ
<sub>GC</sub>
of 1.94 obtained from the full 253,288 individuals (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>
). Because this approach may be overly conservative for a strongly genetic and highly polygenic trait, each study additionally repeated the analyses for each chromosome using a GRM generated from the remaining 21 chromosomes, or in the case of the largest study (WGHS) repeating the analysis for all odd numbered chromosomes using a GRM generated from the even numbered chromosomes and vice versa. The single λ
<sub>GC</sub>
inflation factor for this analysis, 1.23, was also entirely consistent with the standard GWAS results (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>
, and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P61">Our family based analyses also provided strong evidence that the inflated statistics are driven predominantly by the highly polygenic nature of height. We assessed whether variants that reached genome-wide significance after single GC correction replicated in family-based analyses of up to 25,849 samples (effective sample size 14,963, using methods that are immune to stratification (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>
, and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Tables 5 and 6</xref>
). We identified genome-wide significant associations from a meta-analysis that excluded the family-based samples, and tested these associations for replication in the family-based samples; a lower rate of replication than expected could be due to inflation of effect sizes in the discovery sample from the “winner’s curse” and/or stratification. Of 416 genome-wide significant SNPs representing multiple signals selected after exclusion of family-based studies, 371 SNPs had a consistent direction of effect (compared with 208 expected by chance, and 400 expected in the absence of any inflation of estimated effect sizes), and 142 replicated with
<italic>P</italic>
<0.05 (compared with 21 expected by chance, and 210 expected in the absence of effect size inflation;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
). These analyses (particularly the directional consistency) shows that most of the loci represent true associations, but also shows that there is a modest inflation in the effect size estimates, due to stratification and/or the winner’s curse. To distinguish between these possibilities, we repeated this analysis, substituting for the family-based samples a random set of studies with similar total effective sample size. The number of replicating loci was only slightly lower in the family-based cohorts than in the random samples (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
, 12-17 fewer replications attributable to stratification at different
<italic>P</italic>
-value thresholds). This indicates that most of the modest inflation in effect estimates is due to the winner’s curse, that a small amount of inflation is due to residual stratification, and that few (upper limit ~15-25;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
) if any of the loci that reach genome-wide significance after single GC correction are likely to be complete false positives due to stratification (that is, no real association whatsoever with height).</p>
<sec id="S2">
<title>Variance explained by SNPs at different significance levels</title>
<p id="P62">Having established that single GC correction is sufficient to identify SNPs that are likely to be truly associated with height, we next performed a series of analyses using GWAS data from five independent validation studies to quantify the fraction of phenotypic variance explained by SNPs selected from the GCTA-COJO analyses
<sup>
<xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
</sup>
of the meta-analysis data, which excluded data from the validation studies, at a range of statistical thresholds, and to quantify the accuracy of predicting height using these selected SNPs (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
). We first developed a new method that uses within-family prediction to partition the variance of the SNP-based predictor into components due to real SNP effects, errors in estimating SNP effects, and population stratification (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
), and applied the method to data on full-sib pairs from three of the five validation studies (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
). Consistently across the three studies, all the partitioned variance components increased as a less stringent significance level was used for SNP selection in the discovery sample and the error variance increased more dramatically than the genetic variance when more SNPs selected at a less significance level were included in the predictor (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2a-c</xref>
). We demonstrated the partitioning of variance due to population stratification by the within-family prediction analyses with and without adjusting for principal components (PCs) (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 5</xref>
). The results again confirmed that the impact of population stratification on the top associated SNPs was minor and demonstrated that the variation in the predictor due to true SNP effect, estimation error and population stratification was quantifiable. We next inferred, using these partitioned variance components from the within-family prediction analysis, how well different selected sets of SNPs would predict height in independent samples. We showed that the observed prediction accuracy (squared correlation between phenotype and predictor,
<italic>R</italic>
<sup>2</sup>
) in five different population-based cohorts was highly consistent with the values inferred from the within-family based analyses, with prediction accuracy peaking at ~17% using the ~1,900 SNPs reaching
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−5</sup>
(
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2d</xref>
). Finally we estimated variance explained by the selected SNPs in population-based studies using the GCTA-GREML method
<sup>
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
</sup>
(
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2e</xref>
). The results showed that ~670 SNPs at
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−8</sup>
and ~9,500 SNPs at
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−3</sup>
captured ~16% and ~29% of phenotypic variance respectively (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
), which was also consistent with the estimates inferred from the within-family prediction analysis. As shown in
<xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="FD20">equation [19]</xref>
, prediction
<italic>R</italic>
<sup>2</sup>
is not equal to the variance explained but a function of the variance of true SNP effects and the error variance in estimating SNP effects, in the absence of population structure. This is demonstrated in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>
, where at thresholds below genome-wide significance, variance explained is higher than the prediction accuracy, because the latter is deflated both by imprecise estimates of effect sizes (estimation errors) and by inclusion of SNPs that are not associated with height. The estimate of variance explained by all the HapMap3 (ref.
<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
) SNPs without SNP selection was ~50% (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
), consistent with previous estimates
<sup>
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
</sup>
. Thus, a group of ~9,500 SNPs (representing <1% of common SNPs) selected at
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−3</sup>
, explained ~29% of phenotypic variance. Since ~50% of phenotypic variance is explained by all common SNPs, the selected set of SNPs, despite being limited to <1% of common SNPs, accounts for the majority of variance attributable to all common SNPs (29/50 ~ 60%). This set of ~9,500 SNPs strongly clustered with the newly established height loci: 1,704 (19%) variants were located within 250kb of one of the 697 genome-wide associated SNPs, suggesting that a substantial fraction of “missing heritability” is within already identified loci. This clustering of additional variants within identified loci was confirmed in a parallel analysis based on two left-out studies where we observed that SNPs in closer physical proximity with the top associated SNPs explained disproportionally more variance (
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="S6">Online Methods</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 6</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S3">
<title>Larger GWAS identifies new biologically relevant genes and pathways</title>
<p id="P63">Having shown that ~1% of variants can account for the majority of heritability attributable to common variation, we next considered whether the expanded set of height-associated variants could be used to identify the genomic features and biological pathways of most relevance to normal variation in adult height. To test whether our GWAS could implicate new biology, we used established and novel approaches to test whether the height-associated loci were enriched for functionally relevant variants, genes, pathways, and tissues.</p>
<p id="P64">As with the 180 variants identified in our previous analysis, the 697 variants were non-randomly distributed with respect to functional and putatively functional regions of the genome (

<p id="P65">The greater resolution of height associated variants provided by increased sample size, combined with improved gene prioritization and gene set enrichment approaches, identified multiple new tissues, gene sets and specific genes that are highly likely to be involved in the biology of skeletal growth. Specifically, using a variety of established and novel pathway methods, we identified ~3 times as many enriched pathways and prioritized ~5 times as many genes (including genes newly prioritized in previously identified loci) compared to results derived from identical pathway methods to the previous GWAS of 133,000 individuals (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref>

<sup>
<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>

, which uses published literature to highlight connections between likely relevant genes within GWAS loci. As expected, the GRAIL and MAGENTA analyses confirmed several previously identified gene sets and pathways clearly relevant to skeletal growth, but in the larger sample they also provided evidence for additional known and novel genes, gene sets and protein complexes not identified in our previous smaller study (for example, FGF signaling, WNT signaling, osteoglycin, and other genes related to bone or cartilage development) (

These gene sets both confirmed and extended the MAGENTA and GRAIL findings, and identified novel pathways not identified in our previous height GWAS (for example regulation of beta-catenin, biology related to glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, and mTOR signaling) (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD8">Supplementary Table 14</xref>

<title>Discussion</title>
<p id="P72">By performing a large GWAS study on adult height, a highly heritable polygenic trait, we have provided answers to several current questions of relevance to the genetic study of polygenic diseases and traits. First, we showed that by conducting larger GWAS, we can identify SNPs that explain a substantial proportion of the heritability attributable to common variants. As hypothesized by Yang
<italic>et al.</italic>
(2010), the heritability directly accounted for by variants identified by GWAS and inferred by whole-genome estimation approaches are converging with increasing sample size. The variance explained by genome-wide significant SNPs has increased from 3-5% with discovery samples of ~25,000 (ref.
<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
) to 10% with a discovery sample size of ~130,000 (ref.
<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
) to 16% with a discovery sample size of 250,000 (this study), and the variance explained from all captured common SNPs is ~50%
<sup>
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
</sup>
. The variance explained by genome-wide significant SNPs on a chromosome is also proportional to its length, consistent with the conclusion made by Yang
<italic>et al.</italic>
<sup>
<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
</sup>
using all SNPs (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 9</xref>
). Our new results show that ~21%, ~24% and ~29% of phenotypic variance in independent validation samples is captured by the best ~2,000, ~3,700 and ~9,500 SNPs respectively selected in the discovery samples (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
), and that the correlation between actual and predicted height in independent samples from the same population has increased to 0.41 (maximum prediction
<italic>R</italic>
<sup>2</sup>
= 0.41
<sup>2</sup>
= 0.17,
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2d</xref>
). The results are consistent with a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number (thousands) of causal variants, located throughout the genome but clustered in both a biological and genomic manner. Such a genetic architecture may be described as pseudo-infinitesimal, and may characterize many other polygenic traits and diseases. There is also strong evidence of multiple alleles at the same locus segregating in the population and for associated loci to overlap with Mendelian forms, suggesting a large but finite genomic mutational target for height, and effect sizes ranging from minute (<1mm; ~0.01 SDs) to gigantic (>300mm; >3 SDs, in the case of monogenic mutations).</p>
<p id="P73">It has been argued that the biological information emerging from GWA studies will become less relevant as sample sizes increase, because as thousands of associated variants are discovered, the range of implicated genes and pathways will lose specificity and cover essentially the entire genome
<sup>
<xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
</sup>
. If this were the case, then increasing sample sizes would not help to prioritize follow up studies aimed at identifying and understanding new biology, and the associated loci would blanket the entire genome. Our study provides strong evidence to the contrary: the identification of many 100’s and even 1000’s of associated variants can continue to provide biologically relevant information. In other words, the variants identified in larger sample sizes both display a stronger enrichment of pathways clearly relevant to skeletal growth and prioritize many additional new and relevant genes. Furthermore, the associated variants are often non-randomly and tightly clustered (typically separated by <250 kb), resulting in the frequent presence of multiple associated variants in a locus. The observations that genes and especially pathways are now beginning to be implicated by multiple variants suggests that the larger set of results retain biological specificity but that at some point, a new set of associated variants will largely highlight the same genes, pathways and biological mechanisms as have already been seen. This endpoint (which we have not clearly reached for height) could be considered analogous to reaching “saturation” in model organism mutagenesis screens, where new alleles typically map to previously identified genes
<sup>
<xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
</sup>
.</p>
<p id="P74">We have identified a large number of gene sets and pathways that are enriched for associations with height. Although the number of gene sets and pathways is large, many are overlapping and likely represent multiple annotations of a much smaller set of core biological mechanisms. We also highlight individual genes within associated loci as being relevant to skeletal growth, including candidates for contributing to syndromes of abnormal skeletal growth; for example, we strongly implicated
<italic>CHSY1</italic>
, recently identified as an underlying cause of a monogenic syndrome with short stature and brachydactyly
<sup>
<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
,
<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
</sup>
. The lists of prioritized genes and pathways should therefore provide a rich trove of data for future studies of skeletal growth; to facilitate such studies, we have made our results (including genome-wide association results and complete list of highlighted genes and pathways) publicly available. Based on the results of large genetic studies of height, we anticipate that increasing the number of associated loci for other traits and diseases could yield similarly rich lists that would generate new biological hypotheses and motivate future research into the basis of human biology and disease.</p>

<title>Variance explained by SNPs in proximity to the top associated SNPs</title>
<p id="P95">We performed analyses to quantify the variance explained by SNPs in close physical proximity to the top associated SNPs in 9,500 unrelated individuals (pairwise genetic relatedness < 0.025) from a combined dataset of the QIMR and TwinGene cohorts. As in previous analyses, to avoid sample overlap between discovery and validation studies, we repeated the discovery meta-analysis excluding the QIMR and TwinGene cohorts, and identified 643 genome-wide significant SNPs from the GCTA-COJO analysis of the summary statistics using ARIC data for LD estimation. We used GCTA-GREML analysis
<sup>
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
</sup>
to quantify the phenotypic variance explained by all the common SNPs (MAF > 0.01) within 100Kb, 500Kb or 1Mb of the 643 genome-wide significant SNPs. We show in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Figure 6a</xref>
that there are 104K, 423K and 745K SNPs within 100Kb, 500Kb and 1Mb of the top associated SNPs, which explain 20.8% (s.e. = 1.3%), 25.7% (s.e. = 1.8%) and 29.5% (s.e. = 2.2%) of phenotypic variance, respectively. We then applied a regression-based approach
<sup>
<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
</sup>
to adjust for LD between SNPs. The estimates of variance explained after LD-adjustment were slightly higher than those without adjustment, and the ratio of between the estimates with and without LD-adjustment was consistently ~1.05 regardless of the window size (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 6a</xref>
). However, the difference is small.</p>
<p id="P96">We then sought to investigate whether or not there is an enrichment of additional association signals at the top associated loci. We varied the window size from 20Kb to 50Kb, 100Kb, 150Kb, 200Kb, 300Kb, 400Kb, 500Kb, 750Kb and 1Mb, and fitted a two-component model in GCTA-GREML analysis, with the first component being the top associated SNPs and the second component being the rest of SNPs within the window. We found that the per-SNP variance explained excluding the top SNPs (variance explained by the second component divided by the number of SNPs included in this component) decreased with the size of window (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Fig. 6b</xref>
), implying that SNPs in closer physical proximity to the top associated SNPs tend to explain disproportionally more variance.</p>

DEPICT facilitates the analysis of GWAS data by (1) assessing whether genes in associated loci are enriched in tissue-specific expression, (2) identifying reconstituted gene sets that are enriched in genes from associated loci, and (3) systematically identifying the most likely causal gene(s) at a given locus (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Note</xref>

We used a locus definition that was calibrated using the GWAS data for height levels presented in this paper and optimized capture of known monogenic genes for those traits. We merged overlapping loci, and excluded loci that mapped near or within the major histocompatibility complex locus (chromosome 6, location: 20 to 40 Mb), which resulted in a list of 566 non-overlapping loci that were used as input to DEPICT. HapMap Project Phase II CEU genotype data was used for all LD calculations.</p>
