SLC24A5 and ASIP as phenotypic predictors in Brazilian population for forensic purposes

Highlights • Phenotypic prediction has been used in forensic in homogeneous populations for some investigations. • We evaluated pigmentation genes polymorphisms in admixture Brazilian population. • SLC24A5 and ASIP respectively, showed strongest association with fairer skin. • SLC24A5 alone showed a...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Phenotypic prediction has been used in forensic in homogeneous populations for some investigations. • We evaluated pigmentation genes polymorphisms in admixture Brazilian population. • SLC24A5 and ASIP respectively, showed strongest association with fairer skin. • SLC24A5 alone showed associations with blue eyes and blond hair. • We validated SLC24A5 as molecular predictor of phenotypes in admixed populations.
