Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human pigmentation is regulated by several genes acting at different stages of melanin formation. Functional and association studies have elucidated the role of several of these genes in pigmentation phenotypes. Forensic and evolutionary studies can benefit from this knowledge. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the reliability of the prediction of pigmentation phenotypes using a large database of genetic...
