The TYR gene encodes the tyrosinase protein, a key enzyme in the synthesis of the melanin pigment. Variations in the TYR gene sequence have been linked to numerous pigmentation phenomena in mammals.
In humans, TYR SNPs that have been linked to variation in hair, skin, and eye color as well as skin cancer risk include:
