One million to one the only gene involved in this "mutation" is the gene of greed by some bullshit artist to sell tabloids.

It's not proof of evolution. He was given blue eyes by God in order to prove the magnificence of his perfect design and to prove to everybody the glory of God's mighty power.

Those eyes were meant by god to inspire the boy to believe in Jesus, If it were from the devil, it would be red with slit pupil.

Because I assumed this boy is living evidence of human evolution in action. I didn't know there is record of beneficial mutations of humanity as you claimed.
