Digital quantification of human eye color highlights genetic association of three new loci.

Digital quantification of human eye color highlights genetic association of three new loci.

Previous studies have successfully identified genetic variants in several genes associated with human iris (eye) color; however, they all used simplified categorical trait information. Here, we quantified continuous eye color variation into hue and saturation values using high-resolution digital ful...
