We applied our method to the latest GWAS meta-analysis results of the GIANT consortium. It revealed that while the explained variance of genome-wide (GW) significant SNPs is around 10% for height, but the total explained variance likely to exist is estimated to be 29% (CI=[28\u201330%]). This methodology also enables us to predict the benefit of future GWA studies that aim to reveal more associated genetic markers via increased sample size.
