Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Association studies in recently admixed populations are extremely useful to identify the genetic architecture of pigmentation, due to their high genotypic and phenotypic variation. However, to date only four Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have been carried out in these populations.

1,047 Hispanic/Latin American individuals, 684 Cape Verdian individuals, 373 African American individuals
