Further insight into the global variability of the OCA2-HERC2 locus for human pigmentation from multiallelic markers.

Scientific reports - 18 Nov 2021

Suarez Philippe, Baumer Karine, Hall Diana

Abstract excerpt

The OCA2-HERC2 locus is responsible for the greatest proportion of eye color variation in humans. Numerous studies extensively described both functional SNPs and associated patterns of variation over this region. The goal of our study is to examine how these haplotype structures and allelic associations vary when highly variable markers such as microsatellites are used. Eleven microsatellites spanning 357 Kb of...
