Title of project: 
GWAS on longitudinal pubertal traits in Chilean adolescents
Proposal summary: 

In a current project, we are trying to identify genetic factors associated with pubertal traits in Chilean Children. We are also interested on how genetic ancestry affects these traits. In order to know whether our results on Chileans are unique, we need to replicate the same analyses using a European cohort like ALSPAC.

Impact of research: 
Identifying novel genetic variants involved in longitudinal pubertal traits and how genetic ancestry affects these traits
