Haplotype-Based Analysis of OCA2 Variants in Oculocutaneous Albinism. [PDF]
This study defines multi‐allele haplotypes, comprised of rare disease variants combined with common eQTL, sQTL and GWAS variants, for oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA2). These haplotypes have implications for variant pathogenicity assessments and phenotypic variability.

Oculocutaneous albinism type 4: Novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC45A2 gene in a Chinese case [PDF]
Background Oculocutaneous albinism type 4 (OCA4) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a reduction of pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes, and OCA4 is mainly seen in the SLC45A2 gene variants.

Sentinel Nystagmus: The Key to Identifying Type II Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA2) in the Pediatric Setting. [PDF]
Purpose To present a case of type II oculocutaneous albinism (OCA2) diagnosed in infancy following the finding of nystagmus, and to review the diagnostic process and the management of this disorder. Observation A 4‐month‐old female presented with subtle, roving eyes that were initially attributed to normal development.

Retinal Pigment Epithelium-Targeting Gene Therapy Corrects Ocular Symptoms in Mouse and Rat Models of Oculocutaneous Albinism Type I. [PDF]
RPE‐targeted gene therapy restored melanin expression and relieved ocular dysfunction. By optimizing the injection method, a wider range of melanin expression and better therapeutic effects have been achieved. ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) represents a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive condition marked by reduced melanin production

Genetic Diagnosis of Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1A: A Novel <i>TYR</i> Variant. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism type IA (OCA1A) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the TYR gene, resulting in complete loss of tyrosinase activity and absence of melanin production. In this study, we report a novel missense variant, TYR (NM_000372.5):c.143A>C (p.Gln48Pro), found within exon 1 and mapped to chr11: g.89178096A ...

Foveal hypoplasia in oculocutaneous albinism: An optical coherence tomography study
Background: Albinism is an inherited condition characterised by a lack of pigmentation. Foveal hypoplasia, which occurs because of disruptions in normal foveal development, is commonly observed in albinism.
