Abstract

Short tandem repeats (STRs) account for a substantial fraction of human genetic variation, but their contribution to complex human phenotypes is largely unknown. Margoliash et al. perform detailed genome-wide association analysis and fine-mapping of STRs in UK Biobank, identifying many STRs likely to influence variation in blood and serum traits.
