  Researchers discover the genetic secrets behind your eye color. Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands : Scientists have discovered new genes involved in determining human eye colour. More than just blue, green and brown, the team believes that your eye color has many more dimensions and variations than previously believed. The researchers uncovered three new genetic loci (the locations of gene sequences on chromosomes) that significantly contribute to the natural and subtle eye colour variations that distinguish one person from the next. Learning about the role of the three loci (referred to as LYST, 17q25.3, and TTC3/DSCR9) has added to a more comprehensive and concise understanding of the genetic basis of human eye color. Archives:
