Quantitative studies of retinal vascular caliber using new computer-assisted retinal imaging
systems have allowed physicians and researchers to understand the influence of systemic …

The presence of melanin pigment within the iris is responsible for the visual impression of
human eye colouration with complex patterns also evident in this tissue, including Fuchs' …

The study of continuously varying, quantitative traits is important in evolutionary biology,
agriculture, and medicine. Variation in such traits is attributable to many, possibly interacting …

A new era of 'DNA intelligence'is arriving in forensic biology, due to the impending ability to
predict externally visible characteristics (EVCs) from biological material such as those found …

The human eye color is a quantitative trait displaying multifactorial inheritance. Several
studies have shown that the OCA2 locus is the major contributor to the human eye color …

We have previously demonstrated that haplotypes of three single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) within the first intron of the OCA2 gene are extremely strongly associated with …

Human skin colour is highly heritable and externally visible with relevance in medical,
forensic, and anthropological genetics. Although eye and hair colour can already be …

Skin pigmentation is one of the most overt human physical traits with consequences on
susceptibility to skin cancer. The variations in skin pigmentation are dependent on …

We have previously shown that a quantitative-trait locus linked to the OCA2 region of 15q
accounts for 74% of variation in human eye color. We conducted additional genotyping to …

Human iris color was one of the first traits for which Mendelian segregation was established.
To date, the genetics of iris color is still not fully understood and is of interest, particularly in …
