    Evaluated the association of seven OCA2-HERC2 SNPs and haplotypes with pigmentation characteristics (eye, skin, hair and freckles) in the highly admixed and phenotypically heterogeneous Brazilian population. Such SNPs and haplotypes could be deemed as good predictors for the presence of freckles and for skin, eye and hair pigmentation in the Brazilian population.

    We analyzed five SNPs located in the 44.2 kb region and three SNPs outside this region with strong selective signals. Under the additive genetic model, we detected a significant association of rs1800414 with skin pigmentation for both exposed and unexposed areas consistent with a previous association analysis of rs1800414 No significant association was observed for the other seven SNPs (P > 0.05)
