Body Height

8K25K11

Body height is your most visible genetic signature — shaped early in life and standing tall as a reflection of bone growth, nutrition, and inherited growth potential. Research shows that variations near genes involved in skeletal development and growth hormone pathways (like HMGA2, EFEMP1, and GDF5) can strongly influ...
