Bilateral atypical lamellar holes in a patient with oculocutaneous albinism
Albinism can present with a wide range of ophthalmic findings and variable expressivity. With the use of optical coherence tomography, there has been increasing awareness of the variability of macular findings in this condition.

Molecular Basis of Oculocutaneous Albinism.
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a complex group of genetic disorders that have historically been defined by clinical and biochemical methods. Recent advances in the molecular biology of pigmentation have greatly increased our understanding of the complexity of this group of disorders.

Genetic Analysis of 28 Chinese Families With Tyrosinase-Positive Oculocutaneous Albinism
BackgroundTyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism (OCA, type II, OCA2) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease in which the biosynthesis of melanin decreases in the skin, hair, and eyes. OCA2 disease is caused by mutations in OCA2 gene.

Dopachrome tautomerase variants in patients with oculocutaneous albinism [PDF]
Purpose: Albinism is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition. Despite analysis of the 20 known genes, ~30% patients remain unsolved. We aimed to identify new genes involved in albinism.

Dermatoscopy of pigmented melanocytic nevi in patients with oculocutaneous albinism
Oculocutaneous albinism is a group of rare inherited disorders of pigmentation. Some albinos may have a certain degree of melanin production and, consequently, may develop pigmented lesions during their lives.

Children with albinism in African regions: their rights to ‘being’ and ‘doing’
Background Albinism is an inherited condition with a relatively high prevalence in populations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. People with oculocutaneous albinism have little or no pigment in their hair, skin and eyes; thus they are visually impaired and ...
