Insights into the genetic architecture of the human face
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture remains challenging. Using a multivariate genome-wide association study meta-analysis of 8,246 European individuals, we identified 203 genome-wide-significant signals (120 also study-wide significant) associated with normal-range facial variation. Follow-up analyses indicate that the regions surrounding these signals are enriched for enhancer activity in cranial neural crest cells and craniofacial tissues, several regions harbor multiple signals with associations to different facial phenotypes, and there is evidence for potential coordinated actions of variants. In summary, our analyses provide insights into the understanding of how complex morphological traits are shaped by both individual and coordinated genetic actions.

A significant portion of the 16 ear-related loci have been shown to have strong ties to human facial structure.
“A significant portion of the 16 ear-related loci discussed here have been shown to have strong ties to human facial structure [8,15,21,22,30].”
From Combined genome-wide association study of 136 quantitative ear morphology traits in multiple populations reveal 8 novel loci (2023) · cites this paper as [30]
The Results section (“Known and novel loci”; page unavailable) reports many loci significantly associated with normal-range facial morphology. Our copy does not identify the citing paper’s 16 ear-related loci or establish what portion of them overlap with these facial loci, so it does not substantiate the claimed proportion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
