Light Brown. Although I may also carry genes for blue eyes. According to the Sano Genetics Genetic Report:

"CT at position rs1667394 means that you are very likely to have brown/hazel eyes, but blue/gray eyes are still possible."

"We often think of eye colour in terms of simple rules - brown being more dominant than hazel, which is more dominant than blue. Of course reality is much more complicated..."

At SNP rs1667394 you have the variant CT.

This means you are very likely to have brown/hazel eyes, but blue/gray eyes are still possible.

Besides the changes to the on/off switch of OCA2, there can be changes to the sequence of OCA2 gene itself, which affects the structure of the melanin pigment produced. For instance, people with an A at position 27985172 on chromosome 15 are more likely to have green, hazel, or black eyes while people with a G at the same position are more likely to have blue or grey eyes. You can check your DNA at this position, called rs1800407, and see how it compares to your eye color.

At SNP rs1800407 you have the variant CC.

This means that you are more likely to have blue or grey eyes.

The OCA2 gene was actualy originally discovered due to it’s role in albinismJump to reference section: albinism, an inherited condition in which the amount of pigment present in the skin, hair, and eyes is reduced. In fact, there are 7 different ‘OCA’ genes (named OCA1, OCA2, …, OCA7) which are similar in their sequence, but produce slightly different proteins. Variation in many of these genes can cause alibinism as well as more common variation in eye/hair color.

The eye is just the beginning

Because many of the pigments present in the eyes are also present in hair and skin, genetic variation that has an impact on eye color often has an effect on hair and skin as well. For example, people with the letter T in rs1667394 (described above, the site with the strongest known effect on eye color) are also 5x more likely to be have blond hair than brown hair.

The second site mentioned above, rs1800407, has also been identified as a risk factor for melanoma, a form of skin cancer.

As genetics research continues to involve larger and larger numbers of people, understanding of the genetic basis of traits continues to improve, as does our understanding of the connections between traits. It is also really important to note that most of these relationships have been studied much more heavily in people of European ethnicity than other parts of the world. Different genetic variants may have different effects in different people, and it is very important for scientists to continue to expand their studies to include as much of human diversity as possible.

Genetic determinants of hair, eye and skin pigmentation in Europeans.

Many Europeans and Americans can have blue , green or brown eyes . But a brown - eyed person , for example , may also carry genes for another colour in his / her body . So two brown - eyed or green - eyed parents may not have a child ...

In the McWilliams family one dominant gene causes brown eyes. When blue-eyed J. Garfield Haskins married his brown-eyed Anna, their daughter Florence had brown eyes even though she carried one of her father's recessive genes for blue ...
