A genome-wide association scan in admixed Latin Americans identifies loci influencing facial and scalp hair features

We report a genome-wide association scan in over 6,000 Latin Americans for features of scalp hair (shape, colour, greying, balding) and facial hair (beard thickness, monobrow, eyebrow thickness).
