Half-Polish - half-Bulgarian DNA results and question

[djipon]

A friend of mine of polish-bulgarian descent, who had done My heritage and illustrativeDNA asked me to share his results and is asking for your help to determine why is his skin color rather dark. He wants to know what part of the DNA is responsible for that, as his parents are both fair-skinned...

Here are his results on the G25 genoplot Eurogenes k13

His Y Haplogroup is R-Z2123. We thank you in advance. If you need any calculator to be run, I have his coordinates and permission, and can do it instead of him!

How does this work? Will it work with My heritage file?

Skin tone has little bearing on ethnicity. Look at Catharine Zeta Jones. Shes Welsh but she's got a Mediterranean look while Anthony Hopkins whom is also Welsh has blue eyes and fair skin.

Yeah, but from raw data you can get hair color, eye color, and skin color genes you carry

Perhaps because it is partially of non-European origin (Middle East and Asia). Genes for dark skin color are dominant, while those for white are recessive. That means that darker skin color manifests much more easily than lighter skin....
