PY - 2009 DA - 2009/12/30 TI - Genetic determinants of hair and eye colours in the Scottish and Danish populations JO - BMC Genetics SP - 88 VL - 10 IS - 1 AB - Eye and hair colour is highly variable in the European population, and is largely genetically determined. Both linkage and association studies have previously been used to identify candidate genes underlying this variation. Many of the genes found were previously known as underlying mutant mouse phenotypes or human genetic disease, but others, previously unsuspected as pigmentation genes, have also been discovered.
