A molecular basis for classic blond hair color in Europeans.

Nature genetics - 1 Jul 2014

Guenther Catherine A, Tasic Bosiljka, Luo Liqun, Bedell Mary A, Kingsley David M

Abstract excerpt

Hair color differences are among the most obvious examples of phenotypic variation in humans. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated multiple loci in human pigment variation, the causative base-pair changes are still largely unknown. Here we dissect a regulatory region of...
