Human eye colour and HERC2, OCA2 and MATP.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Oct 2010

Mengel-From Jonas, Børsting Claus, Sanchez Juan J, Eiberg Hans, Morling Niels

Abstract excerpt

Prediction of human eye colour by forensic genetic methods is of great value in certain crime investigations. Strong associations between blue/brown eye colour and the SNP loci rs1129038 and rs12913832 in the HERC2 gene were recently described. Weaker associations between eye colour and other gen...
