Interactions between SNP alleles at multiple loci contribute to skin color differences between caucasoid and mongoloid subjects.

International journal of biological sciences - 31 Mar 2008

Anno Sumiko, Abe Takashi, Yamamoto Takushi

Abstract excerpt

This study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles at multiple loci associated with racial differences in skin color using SNP genotyping. A total of 122 Caucasians in Toledo, Ohio and 100 Mongoloids in Japan were genotyped for 20 SNPs in 7 candidate genes, encoding the Agouti signaling protein (ASIP), tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1), tyrosinase (TYR), melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R),...
