چکیده
|
Previous studies have successfully identified genetic variants in several genes associated with human iris (eye) color; however,they all used simplified categorical trait information. here,we quantified continuous eye color variation into hue and saturation values using high-resolution digital full-eye photographs and conducted a genome-wide association study on 5,951 dutch europeans from the rotterdam study. three new regions,1q42.3,17q25.3,and 21q22.13,were highlighted meeting the criterion for genome-wide statistically significant association. the latter two loci were replicated in 2,261 individuals from the uk and in 1,282 from australia. the lyst gene at 1q42.3 and the dscr9 gene at 21q22.13 serve as promising functional candidates. a model for predicting quantitative eye colors explained over 50% of trait variance in the rotterdam study. over all our data exemplify that fine phenotyping is a useful strategy for finding genes involved in human complex traits. © 2010 liu et al.
