Sex tweaks eye color

2024-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Here I challenge the conventional view of eye-color inheritance by showing that eye color depends (doubly) on sex: the sex of the parent and the sex of the child. I rely on the eye color records of over 30,000 Italians—a single-ethnicity population that features the largest genetic and eye-color diversity in Europe. First, more men than women express eye colors at the two extremes of the melanin range (blue and da...
