10.1371/journal.pgen.1000867 associated with skin pigmentation in two samples of East Asian ancestry and it confirms previous evidence indicating that evolution towards light skin occurred, at least in part, independently in Europe and East Asia. The OCA2 gene has been under positive selection in Europe and East Asia, but different alleles have been selected in each region.
23andMe blog each rs1800414(C) was associated with a 1.3 melanin unit reduction in skin pigmentation. This SNP accounts for 9% of the variation in skin color seen in the study population.
