Abstract excerpt
AIM: To improve the 7-plex system to predict eye and skin color by increasing precision and detailed phenotypic descriptions. METHODS: Analysis of an eighth single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs12896399 (SLC24A4), showed a statistically significant association with human eye color (P=0.007) but a rather poor strength of agreement (κ=0.063). This SNP was added to the 7-plex system (rs12913832 at HERC2,...
