Eye Color

8K10311

Eye color is your visible genetic signature — determined by the amount and type of pigments in the iris, giving rise to shades from blue and green to brown and hazel. Research shows that variations near genes involved in melanin production and iris development (like OCA2, HERC2, and TYR) play a major role in determini...
