Eye colour: portals into pigmentation genes and ancestry.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Aug 2004

Sturm Richard A, Frudakis Tony N

Abstract excerpt

Several recent papers have tried to address the genetic determination of eye colour via microsatellite linkage, testing of pigmentation candidate gene polymorphisms and the genome wide analysis of SNP markers that are informative for ancestry. These studies show that the OCA2 gene on chromosome 15 is the major determinant of brown and/or blue eye colour but also indicate that other loci will be involved in the...
