Description : - Genetic Heterogeneity of Variation in Skin/Hair/Eye Pigmentation Multiple genes
influence normal human skin, hair, and/or eye pigmentation. Pigmentation phenotypes
influenced by variation in the OCA2 gene are termed SHEP1. The SHEP2 association (266300)
is determined by variation at the MC1R locus (155555) and describes a phenotype predominantly
characterized by red hair and fair skin. SHEP3 (601800) encompasses pigment variation
influenced by the TYR gene (606933); SHEP4 (113750), that influenced by the SLC24A5
gene (609802). Variation in the SLC45A2 (606202) and SLC24A4 (609840) genes result
in the phenotypic associations SHEP5 (227240) and SHEP6 (210750), respectively. Sequence
variation thought to affect expression of KITLG (184745) results in the;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive at BEY locus; Eye color probably polygenic;
