Signatures of positive selection in genes associated with human skin pigmentation as revealed from analyses of single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Annals of human genetics - 1 May 2007

Lao O, de Gruijter J M, van Duijn K, Navarro A, Kayser M

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic variation between human populations in skin pigmentation correlates with latitude at the continental level. A large number of hypotheses involving genetic adaptation have been proposed to explain human variation in skin colour, but only limited genetic evidence for positive selection h...
