Genetic architecture of skin and eye color in an African-European admixed population.

Genetic architecture of skin and eye color in an African-European admixed population.

Variation in human skin and eye color is substantial and especially apparent in admixed populations, yet the underlying genetic architecture is poorly understood because most genome-wide studies are based on individuals of European ancestry. We study pigmentary variation in 699 individuals from Cape...
