Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits (GIANT) consortium Learn more >

GIANT is an international collaboration that seeks to identify genetic loci that modulate human body size and shape, including height and measures of obesity.

Experiment summary

This study is a meta-analysis of genetic associations with anthropometric measures in over 718,000 individuals across 5 ancestries.
