The genetics of skin, hair, and eye color variation and its relevance to forensic pigmentation predictive tests.

Forensic science review - 1 Jan 2015

Maroñas O, Söchtig J, Ruiz Y, Phillips C, Carracedo Á, Lareu M V

Abstract excerpt

This review examines the potential application of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based predictive tests for skin, hair, and eye color to forensic analysis in support of police investigations lacking DNA database matches or eyewitness testimony. Brief descriptions of the biology of melanogenesis and the main genes involved are presented in order to understand the basis of common pigmentation variation in...
