DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

[frogdreaming]

There seem to be a couple more qualifiers;

The most recent blind validation test for 65 individuals of predominant (>80%) European ancestry, between the ages of 10 and 60 years, showed greater than 97% accuracy.

"The test is appropriate for samples that have typed with the Company's DNAWitness(TM) 2.5 test to be of predominant European continental ancestry, and was blindly validated strictly for individuals of both sexes between the ages of 10 and 60 years."

Now not only can we tell the genetic profile of the crime scene DNA, but we can also describe the eye color if their DNA genetic results fall into the correct category.

It is fairly obvious that most variations in eye color occur in those with predominantly European ancestry so the test has value, but it is interesting to note that the markers for eyecolor do not seem to be tracking across all of the ancestral types. It would seem that they have not yet found the actual eyecolor genes but have found ancestral patterns in the snp's that correlate effectively with eyecolor but don't have a one to one direct link.
