Abstract
Face shape is genetically determined, but the underlying genetic architecture is complex, and precise definition of facial structures is essential for any serious study. Recent work, based on objective definition of facial segments and GWAS analyses of thousands of participants, defines a large number of loci (> 100) influencing face shape and begin to allow in-depth analysis of this complex morphological structure.
