The color of the skin, hair and eye is controlled by multiple genes and is among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation. Genetics correlate phenotypic with genotypic variation. Recent scientific work reveals DNA polymorphisms at least partially responsible for some of the differences observed in human pigmentation. These are the focus of this review.
皮肤、头发和眼睛的颜色由多个基因控制,是人类表型变异最明显的例子之一。遗传学将表型与基因型变异联系起来。最近的科学研究揭示了DNA多态性,这些多态性至少部分地导致了人类色素沉着中观察到的一些差异。这些是本综述的重点。
