Multilocus OCA2 genotypes specify human iris colors.

Human genetics - 1 Nov 2007

Frudakis Tony, Terravainen Timothy, Thomas Matthew

Abstract excerpt

Human iris color is a quantitative, multifactorial phenotype that exhibits quasi-Mendelian inheritance. Recent studies have shown that OCA2 polymorphism underlies most of the natural variability in human iris pigmentation but to date, only a few associated polymorphisms in this gene have been described. Herein, we describe an iris color score (C) for quantifying iris melanin content in-silico and undertake a more...
