What gene is responsible for Asian eyes?
Also, I found that scientists have narrowed down the gene which accounts for Asian eyes, which is EDAR, which is at least 30,000 years old. It is also responsible for other features, such as straight hair, thick hair shafts, decreased eyebrow and beard thickness, and attachment of the lobe to name a few.
Do Asians have blue eye genes?
Yes, some Asians do carry the “blue eyed allele”. Though as you get farther away from Europe, it becomes less common1. The map below shows the frequency of the traditional blue-eyed allele across the world: This map shows the worldwide frequency of the traditional blue-eyed version of the OCA2 gene.
What’s the eye color of Chinese?
all chinese have dark brown eyes.
Are Japanese and Chinese genetically different?
Our analyses revealed that Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations have distinct genetic makeup and can be well distinguished based on either the genome wide data or a panel of ancestry informative markers (AIMs).
Can Chinese have green eyes?
Green eyes naturally occur in all races of people. Liqian, China is a hot spot for green eyes. There is a village in China called Liqian, in which two-thirds of all inhabitants today have green eyes and blonde hair. Green eyes and blonde hair are a rare combination.

How close are Japanese and Korean DNA?
Single-nucleotide polymorphism A 2011 SNP consortium study done by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Max Planck Society consisting of 1719 DNA samples determined that Koreans and Japanese clustered near to each other, confirming the findings of an earlier study that Koreans and Japanese are closely related.
Can two brown eyed parents have a green eyed child?
The short answer is that brown-eyed parents can have kids with brown, blue or virtually any other color eyes. Eye color is very complicated and involves many genes.
