Latitudinal Clines of the Human Vitamin D Receptor and Skin Color Genes

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The well-documented latitudinal clines of genes affecting human skin color presumably arise from the need for protection from intense ultraviolet radiation (UVR) vs. the need to use UVR for vitamin D synthesis. Sampling 751 subjects from a broad range of
