A global view of the OCA2-HERC2 region and pigmentation
AssociationN=3,432Michael P. Donnelly et al.(2012)· Human Genetics

This global population study of 3,432 individuals from 73 populations examined 21 SNPs in the OCA2-HERC2 region associated with eye and skin pigmentation. Blue-eye associated haplotypes (BEH1, BEH2, BEH3) were found at high frequencies in Europe, with BEH2 showing the strongest signal of selection. The East Asian-specific missense SNP rs1800414 (His615Arg) was associated with lighter skin pigmentation and showed strong evidence of positive selection in East Asian populations.
