Prediction of eye and skin color in diverse populations using seven SNPs.
Forensic Sci Int Genet
November 2011
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the significance of using genetic information to identify visible characteristics of human remains, especially when traditional physical attributes are unavailable.
- Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were validated from 554 samples to predict eye and skin color, showing applicability across various populations with low error rates.
- The findings suggest these SNPs could enhance forensic testing, although predicting skin color is more complex and varies among different populations.
