Multitrait genome association analysis identifies new susceptibility genes for human anthropometric variation in the GCAT cohort.

Five genes associated with pigmentary traits were identified in the analysis with highly significant SNP associations: SLC45A2 (rs16891982, β=−0.546, SE=0.021, p=2.2×10 −130 ), IRF4 (rs12203592, β=1.915, SE=0.118, p=2.8×10 −57 ), HERC2 (rs1667394, β=−0.608, SE=0.02, p=2.8×10 −176 ), OCA2 (rs11855019, β=−0.548, SE=0.022, p=2.4×10 −121 ) and MC1R (rs1805007, β=3.615, SE=0.326, p=7.7×10 −22 ) (online supplementary figure S3 ).
