im AG (mixed african/asian ancestry possible)
the funny thing is that GIH (Gujarati Indian Houston) are mostly AA as Europeans with some AG but without GG like Africans and Japanese/Chinese. That means that my mum is probably not GG but AG and my dad is probably AA that i inherited AG is funny. I could have been AA easily. the chances would be higher.

http://snpedia.com/index.php/Rs1426654

you see all populations except TSI, GIH and CEU have GG (blue). CEU has only AA TSI has very very few AG and GIH has a bit more of AG but predominantly AA

how does it really influence my skin pigmentation on all other skin genes im light skinned european ancestry?

mixed African/European ancestry possible This G is not found in European populations. Suggests at least half ancestry with African or Asian populations.

This SNP influences skin pigmentation. The allele p.A111T, rs1426654(A), indicates light-skinned european ancestry. It appears as if this SNP is a relatively new one in human evolution; one estimate is that the rs1426654(A) allele, in other words, light skin pigmentation, spread through the European population around 6,000 - 12,000 years ago. Prior to that, 'European ancestors' were most likely relatively brown-skinned. This SNP is one of three from the SLC24A5 gene that can be analyzed to categorize the ancestry of a person as either European, African, or Asian, based on a 2009 study. The 3 SNPs are: * rs1426654 * rs2555364 * rs16960620 [OMIM:SOLUTE CARRIER FAMILY 24 (SODIUM/POTASSIUM/CALCIUM EXCHANGER), MEMBER]

I got AA. How unspecial.

As to answer your thread, an individual SNP doesn't really mean much. Geneticists themselves are unsure as to how it all works together.

what ethnic groups does the stuff like AA and JT reprsent. Also click here (http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/24/3/710.long) to see a study. Which was trying to give evidence pale skin in Europeans and east asians evoloved seperatly. When they tested mid easterns and north africans they found that they had the same allies in many genes that are suppose to cause pale skin in europeans. Thy have it at a lower rate then europeans but actulley pretty close i dont know but it seems u were saying many indians had European AA.

I dont know what gene ur talking about because ur only showing the allies but AA is not European at least orignally. I probably orignated in the mid east around 50,000-60,000ybp but became more popular in Europeans ancestors when they migrated to Europe or while still in the mid east. I think some studies assumed that the genes that help cause pale skin in europeans is only european.

According to aust dna Europeans, mid easterns, and north Africans form their own group which could explain why north africans and mid easterns had the same pale skin genes as Europeans at almost the same rate. Another similarty they have is mainly brown hair all humans have all black hair from what i know except Europeans, mid easterns, and north africans brown hair has paler pigmentation than black hair. Also i have seen wikpedia and other websites which talk about the some of the genes they found that cause pale skin in europeans. They leave out that they are also found in mid easterns and north africans and they say some how they know how old the gene is and try to say europe has been white for only 6,000 years. I have noticed predicting the age of haplogroups is uselly very unaccurte predicting the age of genes and mutation i would think is even harder dont trust what they say about that.

Look at this map from the study i showed above. It is the percentage of people with alles A in SLC24A5 rs1426654. U can see it is almost as popular in the mid east and north africa as Europe. The circles that extend really far east and north and have alot are all caucasin groups like Kalash.

Those to genes according to Wikpedia and SNP pedia are major in causing pale skin in Europeans yet they are almost just as popular in other Caucasians.

Just look at Georgian people they have the highest amount in the globe13 aust dna test of west asian they have nearlly no European blood yet see how european they look. In my opinon this means Europeans were already pale skinned when they arrived in Europe unlike what wikpedia and SNPedia say.

If these genes originated in Europeans then how do u explain Geogrians and the fact those genes are found in all Caucasians.

There is no way in heck pale skin spread acroos Europe just 6,000-12,000ybp. For one thing i already showed those genes specifcally the one u are talking about is very popular in mid easterns and north africans(which could mean they dont automatically mean ur pale skinned) not just europeans. Europe had long been densely populated 12,000ybp for pale skin to somehow spread acroos and take away all the brown skin acroos the entire contient of Europe sounds alittle crazy and impossible.

I cant really explain it all because it would literally take a book for me to explain the whole genetic part. All Europeans decend from the same Paloithic family that arrived in Europe anywhere from 30,000-60,000ybp or mixed with a bunch of diff groups and formed 30,000ybp or so. It would have been the founding population of all Europeans that were first all pale skinned then they populated Europe which was not populated yet. Also in aust DNA(tells full ancestry) the unque group of europeans is called north euro(please dont get confused it is called north because they are farthest away from non euro inter marriage so they have the most).

Over 10,000ybp all europeans were 100% european then starting 10,000ybp mid eastern farmers who would have been mainly brown and light brown skinned migrated acroos europe. There is no way they are the source of pale skin in europeans even areas like northern scandnavia which were not effected by these farmers are white. We have DNA from 6,000 year old early Indo Europeans apart of Yamna culture in ukrine and without a suprise they had same pale skin genes as modern europeans. There are many studies right now being done on very ancient DNA in Europe one study is taking 100-150 y dna smaples, mt dna, aust dna, and pigmentation genes from 5,000-4,000 year old remains from south Scandnavia, Germany, and Poland.

They will also do some on 7,000 year old remains in Denmark all i would bet my life will be pale skinned just like the 6,000 year old remains in Ukraine and modern Europeans. Those dates of 6,000-12,000ybp dont just make no sense when u look at the spread of people in Europe and genetics honestly i think they are raciest. It is a 1960's attitude i get sick of it is a anti white man attitude that gets old after a while.

what do you think how much does that snp affect my skin tone? there were indians on 23andme with AA but who said they are "indian dark". apparently most GIH had AA. it is a "ancestral marker" where you can see if someone is european, asian or african

Fire Haired

it defintley not a ancestral marker i dont who would say that. Obvisouly it is not restricted to Europeans and does not exactley mean someone will be light skinned if they have it. I dont know i doubt it effected ur skin color since it obvisouly dd not really effect the indians skin color. There are probably other genes and other things that cause pale skin in europeans which have not been found.

How is that possible when the Nogais look almost no different to Kazakhs or Kyrgyz?

I do not think there is anything wrong with the Study. The samples they tested probably had less East Asian then some other Nogais. The East Asian score probably varys from various Nogais groups. 20% is enough to impact the way they look, plus they look like a mixed population and some of them look more west asian as well, just like Turkmenistan who also have a similar ratio.

I seriously cant belive they are using the AA alles in that gene as a mancestral marker that ur part European. If u look at one of my earlier posts on this thread i showed a study which was trying to proof light skin in europeans and east asians is unrelated. They also tested mid easterns and north africans and found they have AA at almost the same rate as Europeans actulley all the major genes they say that cause light skin in Europeans exists in mid easterns and north africans too and is pretty popular. Giglo in the begging showed that a group of very dark skinned Indians they tested all had AA that makes me very skeptical on how much it really effects skin color and if it is unque to Europeans. It seems it only exists in Caucasins which includes Europeans but they are more popular in Europeans. I am sure it kind of effects skin color but probably not that much.

So from what that study says it seems if u have AA that means u most likley are part European but u also may be part mid eastern or north African and possibly north Indian. What really does not make sense is they assume it compeltly makes ur skin white and they say they can predict when it spread acroos Europe. The thing is that light skin never spread acroos europe it was the founding population of all Europeans that populated Europe when it was not populated yet. Since ethnic groups in the Caucus like Georgains who have according to aust DNA which tells ur full ancestry little to none european blood but they are just about as pale as europeans. They also have over 50% west asian in globe13 test which is the brother to north euro which is from the founding population of Europeans and from Paleolithic cro magnon time. This means they are close relatives to Euro's and also euro's could have been white when they first got to europe 30,000-55,000ybp.

It is really igrnoant of them to say that light skin spread acroos Europe just 6,000-12,000ybp. When u look at the history of european ethnic groups and pre historic cultures that is absoulutley impossible and way to recent.

....Ok, are you sure you don't have CC and GG backwards? 23andme places me as having "typical" odds rather than decreased for Squamous Cell Carcinoma at that SNP:

I also have CT at rs12203592

lol:picard1: yes, you are right euros should be GG

I'm GG. I thought I was African too before MfA corrected it. LOL

Funny, my dad's dark as hell, at least in summer. He gets mistaken for Hispanic here in California all the time.

Who would ever take AA as a ancestral marker. I already showed a link to a study click here (http://here) to see it agian.

Here is a map of the distribution of AA u can see it is almost as popular in north africans and mid easterns as in europeans.

Which could explain why the Gujarat Indians in houstan mainly had so called European AA or Ag non hadblack african or mongliod GG. Gujarat are from north India right next tp Kaistan and in this study most Pakistani were AA. So i am freaking Poed at these dumb Wikipedia and SNpedia pages saying it is only european. It is not it is Caucasian which includes mid easterns and north africans. The fact all of the genes they saw cause white skin in europeans exist in other caucasins at almost the same rate mean those genes dont always cause white skin. Then they say total crap like it only exist in Europeans but ignore test results on mid easterns and north africans. Then they make total BS estimates on its age and when it spread to Europe. They are so desprite to find the answer that when they think they might have found it they say it as a fact.

I would like to know what 23andme test u take to find if u have AA or whatever. Dont they also give u like a spreadsheet of all the markers in ur DNA and tell u health info. Do they do Y DNa haplogroup and mtDNA haplogroups(deep subclades). Do they do austomnal DNA tests and how much money does it cost

These few SNP's are providing a very incomplete picture of what affects pigmentation, especially with East Asian influence. It is more a measure of "caucasoidness". From my few SNP's you'd expect me to be darker than the average North Indian but that is not the case. When you compare all of them which are found in the 23andMe pigmentation set then it makes a bit more sense, but still doesn't answer "Why are my skin, hair, and eyes this color?"
