rs12913832
rs12913832 is a GRCh38 A/C/G regulatory marker in HERC2 that changes enhancer control of OCA2. In European-ancestry studies, G/G is more often linked to blue or green eyes and A/A to brown or hazel eyes, while A/G spans several colors. The marker has a large effect but does not determine one exact eye color, and the European categorical map is not portable to every ancestry. Genotypes containing the unstudied C allele are outside the reviewed map.
