Stackin' Up New Genes For Height!

Scientists have discovered hundreds of genes that influence/determine height for human beings. They have determined that the higher the combination of genes you have the taller you will be!

"The researchers looked to see whether the 180 regions contained more genes that underlie skeletal growth defects than would be expected if those regions were just chosen randomly across the genome. They found that the genes were not random and could in fact point to functional pathways important in influencing height."

My opinion: Scientists should keep studying and come to a complete conclusion that the more genes you have, the taller you are. This can help make a better prediction of how tall you are going to be. This will also help doctors have a better prediction. I thought if your parents were tall, you would be tall but it also is affected by the number/higher genes you have.
