Genetic determinants of hair and eye colours in the Scottish and Danish populations.

BMC genetics - 30 Dec 2009

Mengel-From Jonas, Wong Terence H, Morling Niels, Rees Jonathan L, Jackson Ian J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Eye and hair colour is highly variable in the European population, and is largely genetically determined. Both linkage and association studies have previously been used to identify candidate genes underlying this variation. Many of the genes found were previously known as underlying m...
