Genetic predictions of eye and hair colour in the Danish population.

Genetic predictions of eye and hair colour are prominent examples of forensic DNA phenotyping that can help resolve criminal cases. The advent of high-throughput genotyping technologies in forensic genetics opens up the possibility of applying polygenic risk scores in forensic settings. In this work, we compare the performance of HIrisPlex with PRSice-2 in predicting eye and hair colour to gain insights into the relative benefits of new approaches.
