Text

Height measurements, self-reported or clinically measured, from 35,189 Australian adults and 2,036 Australian adolescents (around 16-years-old) were collected by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. Of these individuals, 8,884 adults and 1,668 adolescents have been genotyped using Illumina SNP chips in several genome-wide association studies. All the samples were collected with informed consent and appropriate ethical approval. The adult samples were genotyped by HumanCNV370-Quad v3.0 BeadChips (~351K SNPs) or Human610-Quad v1.0 BeadChips (~582K SNPs), and the adolescent samples were all genotyped by Human610-Quad v1.0 BeadChips.
