Definition of Eye color
Eye color: The color of the iris. The genetics of eye color are complicated. Eye color is polygenic. It is determined by multiple genes. The eye color genes include EYCL1 a green/blue eye color gene located on chromosome 19, EYCL2 a brown eye color gene and EYCL3 a brown/blue eye color gene located on chromosome 15. There are clearly other genes that influence eye color. The once-held view that blue eye color is a simple recessive trait has been shown to be wrong. The genetics of eye color are so complex that almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.
