Evidence from model organisms and clinical genetics suggests coordination between the
developing brain and face, but the role of this link in common genetic variation remains …

The effect of the brain on the morphology of the face has long been recognized in both
evolutionary biology and clinical medicine. In this work, we describe factors that are active …

Genome-wide association scans of complex multipartite traits like the human face typically
use preselected phenotypic measures. Here we report a data-driven approach to …

The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture
remains challenging. Using a multivariate genome-wide association study meta-analysis of …

Variations in the form of the human face, which plays a role in our individual identities and
societal interactions, have fascinated scientists and artists alike. Here, we review our current …

The human face represents a combined set of highly heritable phenotypes, but knowledge
on its genetic architecture remains limited, despite the relevance for various fields. A series …

The human face is an array of variable physical features that together make each of us
unique and distinguishable. Striking familial facial similarities underscore a genetic …

Our understanding of the genetics of the human cerebral cortex is limited both in terms of the
diversity and the anatomical granularity of brain structural phenotypes. Here we conducted a …

To characterize the genetic basis of facial features in Latin Americans, we performed a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 6000 individuals using 59 landmark …

Inter-individual variation in facial shape is one of the most noticeable phenotypes in
humans, and it is clearly under genetic regulation; however, almost nothing is known about …
