Variants of the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) and P gene as indicators of the population origin of an individual.

International journal of legal medicine - 1 May 2009

Masui Sosuke, Nakatome Masato, Matoba Ryoji

Abstract excerpt

The population origin of an individual is often requested to be determined from specimens left at a crime scene for identifying a suspect and individual identity. The melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) and P gene are associated with human pigmentation. Although several studies have reported that these genes are highly polymorphic in human populations, it is unclear if the allele variants can be used to determine...
