Overlapping association signals in the genetics of hair-related phenotypes in humans and their relevance to predictive DNA analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic prediction of different hair phenotypes can help reconstruct the physical appearance of an individual whose biological sample is analyzed in criminal and identification cases. Up to date, forensic prediction models for hair colour, hair shape, hair loss and hair greying have been developed, but studies investigating predictability of hair thickness and density traits are missing. First data suggesting...
