The areas marked in colour indicate the specific areas in which a genetic marker with an association was found. The colour shows the soft tissue displacement of the face according to the genotype. For a specific genotype, blue indicates an inward movement and red an outward movement. For example, in the images of the nose, red indicates a nose that protrudes more, but with nostrils that are more inward turning; it would therefore be a narrow, more prominent nose.
