- Title
Genetics tells tall tales.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the search for genetics showing the association between genes and complex traits, and diseases. This gap is referred by geneticists as the missing heritability of the genome. Study uses a statistical analysis considering the effect of all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on height. This led some researchers to the idea that common genetic variants genome-wide association studies (GWAS) will explain these traits and diseases.
