METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF HUMAN IRIS COLOR

摘要

A method for predicting the iris color of a human, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a sample of the nucleic acid of the human; (b) genotyping the nucleic acid for at least the following polymorphisms: (i) the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs12913832 or a polymorphic site which is in linkage disequilibrium with rs12913832 at an r2 value of at least 0.9; (ii) the SNP rs1800407 or a polymorphic site which is in linkage disequilibrium with rs1800407 at an r2 value of at least 0.5; and, (iii) the SNP rs12896399 or a polymorphic site which is in linkage disequilibrium with rs12896399 at an r2 value of at least 0.5; and (c) predicting the iris color based on the results of step (b). A method of genotyping said polymorphisms, and kits comprising or a solid substrate having attached thereto nucleic acid molecules suitable for performing the method.
