Hair, skin and eye colors are highly heritable and visible traits in humans. [...] Key Method We carried out a genome-wide association scan for variants associated with hair and eye pigmentation, skin sensitivity to sun and freckling among 2,986 Icelanders. We then tested the most closely associated SNPs from six regions—four not previously implicated in the normal variation of human pigmentation—and replicated their association in a second sample of 2,718 Icelanders and a sample of 1,214 Dutch. The SNPs from…Expand Abstract
