rs12913832 is a SNP near the OCA2 gene that may be functionally linked to blue or brown eye color, due to a lowering of promoter activity of the OCA2 gene. Blue eye color is associated with the rs12913832(G;G) genotype.[PMID 18172690, PMID 18252222]

rs12913832 is also part of a haplotype spanning 166kB on chromosome 15, defined by 13 SNPs listed below, that is found in 97% of all Caucasians with blue eyes. In this haplotype, variations in rs1129038 and rs12913832 are relatively common in Caucasians though rare among other ethnic groups.[PMID 18172690]
