The genotype of a single SNP, rs12913832, is the primary predictor of blue and brown eye colours. The genotypes rs12913832:AA and rs12913832:GA are most often observed in individuals with brown eye colours, whereas rs12913832:GG is most often observed in individuals with blue eye colours. However, approximately 3% of Europeans with the rs12913832:GG genotype have brown eye colours. The purpose of the study presented here was to identify variants that explain brown eye colour formation in individuals with the rs12913832:GG genotype. Genes and regulatory regions surrounding  SLC24A4 ,  TYRP1 ,  SLC24A5 ,  IRF4 ,  TYR , and  SLC45A2 , as well as the upstream region of  OCA2  within the  HERC2  gene were sequenced in a study comprising 40 individuals with the rs12913832:GG genotype. Of these, 24 individuals were considered to have blue eye colours and 16 individuals were considered to have brown eye colours. We identified 211 variants within the  SLC24A4 ,  TYRP1 ,  IRF4 , and  TYR  target regions associated with eye colour. Based on  in silico  analyses of predicted variant effects we recognized four variants,  TYRP1  rs35866166:C,  TYRP1  rs62538956:C,  SLC24A4  rs1289469:C, and  TYR  rs1126809:G, to be the most promising candidates for explanation of brown eye colour in individuals with the rs12913832:GG genotype. Of the 16 individuals with brown eye colours, 14 individuals had four alleles, whereas the alleles were rare in the blue eyed individuals. rs35866166, rs62538956, and rs1289469 were for the first time found to be associated with pigmentary traits, whilst rs1126809 was previously found to be associated with pigmentary variation. To improve prediction of eye colours we suggest that future eye colour prediction models should include rs35866166, rs62538956, rs1289469, and rs1126809.
