Association of common genetic variants with human skin color variation in Indian populations.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2018

Sarkar Anujit, Nandineni Madhusudan R

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Human skin color is one of the most conspicuously variable physical traits that has attracted the attention of physical anthropologists, social scientists and human geneticists. Although several studies have established the underlying genes and their variants affecting human skin color, they were mostly confined to Europeans and Africans and similar studies in Indian populations have been scanty....
