Variants of the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) and P gene would be effective for estimating the population origin of an individual.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan) - 1 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

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