Major differences in facial morphology distinguish vertebrate species. Variation of facial
traits underlies the uniqueness of human individuals, and abnormal craniofacial …

Variations in the form of the human face, which plays a role in our individual identities and
societal interactions, have fascinated scientists and artists alike. Here, we review our current …

Genome-wide association scans of complex multipartite traits like the human face typically
use preselected phenotypic measures. Here we report a data-driven approach to …

We report a genome-wide association scan in> 6,000 Latin Americans for pigmentation of
skin and eyes. We found eighteen signals of association at twelve genomic regions. These …

Prediction of human physical traits and demographic information from genomic data
challenges privacy and data deidentification in personalized medicine. To explore the …

The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture
remains challenging. Using a multivariate genome-wide association study meta-analysis of …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

Abstract Forensic DNA Phenotyping (FDP) comprises the prediction of a person's externally
visible characteristics regarding appearance, biogeographic ancestry and age from DNA of …

Background The genetic bases of many complex phenotypes are still largely unknown,
mostly due to the polygenic nature of the traits and the small effect of each associated …

Facial morphology—a conspicuous feature of human appearance—is highly heritable.
Previous studies on the genetic basis of facial morphology were performed mainly in …
