Syndrome-informed phenotyping identifies a polygenic background for achondroplasia-like facial variation in the general population

Abstract Human craniofacial shape is highly variable yet highly heritable with numerous genetic variants interacting through multiple layers of development. Here, we hypothesize that Mendelian phenotypes represent the extremes of a phenotypic spectrum and, using achondroplasia as an example, we intr...
