    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin_color

    The theory is partially supported by a study into the SLC24A5 gene which found that the allele associated with light skin in Europe "determined […] that 18,000 years had passed since the light-skin allele was fixed in Europeans" but may have originated as recently as 12,000–6,000 years ago "given the imprecision of method" , [39] which is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium/potassium/calcium...

    Sequence variation in the SLC24A5 gene, particularly a non-synonymous SNP changing the amino acid at position 111 in NCKX5 from alanine to threonine, has been associated with differences in skin pigmentation. [6] The SLC24A5 gene's derived threonine or Ala111Thr allele (rs1426654 [7]) has been shown to be a major factor in the light skin tone ...

    This became known as type 2B of the condition (with the gene designated WS2B), however it has not been documented since, and the gene responsible remains unknown. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] Type 2C was established in 2001 when a study of an Italian family with Waardenburg syndrome type 2 features found that they were due to an unknown gene on chromosome 8 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocortin_1_receptor

    Asp294His (rs1805009) is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MC1R gene and it is associated with red hair and light skin type. [12] [46] [26] Other SNPs in the gene, Arg151Cys and Arg160Trp, are also associated with red hair. The Out-of-Africa model proposes that modern humans originated in Africa and migrated north to populate Europe ...
