Quantitative genetic analysis of skin reflectance: a multivariate approach.

Human biology - 1 Feb 1992

Williams-Blangero S, Blangero J

Abstract excerpt

Skin color is a polygenically determined quantitative trait. Although it has been used extensively in studies of between-population variation, there have been relatively few studies of the inheritance of skin color. In this article we use measurements on 359 members of the Jirel population of eastern Nepal to assess the heritabilities and additive genetic correlations of three skin reflectance measures. Skin...
