Thank you Gaska! You said what I was about to say. Who cares what the alleles are predicting? They predict that I have blue gray eyes like my father but I have dark brown eyes like my mother. As far as R1b-269 not being found among the Greeks, should we not wait a little bit until more samples are analyzed?
May I ask you this, did you use HIrisPlex S for your eye and skin color prediction? And overall how accurate was it? Anyway, I personally do care a lot about accuracy including phenotype prediction. When I read a scientific study, I want to be informed and educated. Therefore, I dislike the idea of being misinformed by researchers who interpret the data in a biased, misleading or inaccurate way. The thing is, that Phenotype prediction is a science that is new and still in its infancy which means that mistake can happen. Thus, we probably have to take phenotype prediction with a grain of salt.
