tooth’: P = 0.00012; ‘Number of teeth’: 2.3 × 10−6). Overall, however, the number of height-associated SNPs for which the height increaser allele had a positive effect on faster tooth eruption was not greater than expected by chance (‘Age at first tooth’: 89/180 SNPs in the expected direction P = 0.94; ‘Number of teeth’: 92/180 SNPs in the expected direction P = 0.71). Likewise, a weighted allelic score of height-associated SNPs did not significantly predict the age at first tooth or the number of teeth (‘Age at first tooth’: PMETA = 0.18; ‘Number of teeth’: PMETA = 0.44).
