Meta-analysis of GWA studies provides new insights on the genetic architecture of skin pigmentation in recently admixed populations

Abstract Background Association studies in recently admixed populations are extremely useful to identify the genetic architecture of pigmentation, due to their high genotypic and phenotypic variation. However, to date only four Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have been carried out in these po...
