SHEP is the acronym for "Skin/hair/eye pigmentation" and refers to a classification system that refers to the genetically detectable and known polymorphisms in the genes that have been shown to (co-)determine the pigmentation system of skin, hair and iris. Currently, different pigmentation phenotypes associated with variations in different genes have been described with SHEP1-SHEP11.
