Skin pigment traits (i.e., “dark skin,” “dark to black skin,” “intermediate skin,” “very pale skin,” and “pale skin”) were predicted using HIrisPlex-S program based on 36 SNPs known to influence skin color. We did consider using a five-category level (very pale, pale, intermediate, dark, and dark-black) of the HIrisPlex-S skin pigmentation predictions and examined the distribution of all the categories in GERA non-Hispanic whites.
