A GWAS in Latin Americans highlights the convergent evolution of lighter skin pigmentation in Eurasia

Pigmentation variation in humans is influenced by complex genetic architecture in different populations. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide association analysis involving > 6,000 Latin Americans for pigmentation of skin and eyes, and identify known and novel genetic associations.
