Association study confirms the role of two OCA2 polymorphisms in normal skin pigmentation variation in East Asian populations.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The main goal of the study was to test the association of 18 polymorphisms located within nine pigmentation candidate genes with quantitative skin pigmentation measures collected in a sample of individuals of East Asian ancestry living in Canada (N = 419). METHODS: The 18 polymorphisms are located within genes that show putative signatures of positive selection in East Asian populations. The genetic...
