Association of common genetic variants with human skin color variation in Indian populations

ConclusionsThese observations support the findings that rs1426654 and rs4775730 located in SLC24A5, and rs11070627 and rs12913316 located in MYEF2 and CTXN2 genes respectively, are major contributors toward skin pigmentation and would aid in further unraveling the genotype‐phenotype association in Indian populations. These findings can be utilized in forensic DNA applications for criminal investigations.
