A-allele of SLC24A5 gene is found to be responsible for variation in skin color of South-East Asians and Europeans
By Rahul Agarwal 4027 days ago
Key finding:
- rs1426654 SNP of SLC24A5 gene is decider of skin pigmentation variation in South Asia
- rs1426654-A allele is widely spread throughout the Indian subcontinent
- Skin pigmentation is also account by the combination of processes like selection and demographic history of populations affected by their language and origin
- Sign of positive selection in Europeans, Middle East, Pakistan, Central Asia and North India but not in South India
- In European , A-allele is almost reached to fixation
