Hermansky–Pudlak Syndrome Type 6 Accompanied with Bowel Vascular Malformation: Clinical Case
Background. Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type 6 is rare hereditary disease caused by pathogenic variants in base sequence, deletions, and insertions in the HPS6 gene encoding the transmembrane protein of the same name.

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.

Synergistic HMGN1 and VP64 Fusions Potentiate High‐Precision and PAM‐Flexible Base Editing
A novel CDA1Δ‐SpRY architecture fused with HMGN1 and VP64 yields a nearly PAM‐less base editing platform. By focusing cytosine conversion predominantly at position −18, this synergistic complex ensures highly precise targeting. Demonstrating enhanced efficiency across diverse models, including yeast and rice, the platform offers a robust solution for ...

Advances in Skin Whitening Agents: Mechanisms, Clinical Applications, and Future Perspectives
ABSTRACT Background Skin hyperpigmentation disorders are common cosmetic and clinical concerns caused by excessive melanin production, abnormal pigment distribution, or persistent pigment after inflammation. Their heterogeneous pathogenesis and tendency to recur complicate treatment, particularly in patients with darker phototypes.

A Recessive oca2 Mutation Underlies Albinism in Xiphophorus Fish
Genetic mapping of albino Xiphophorus hellerii showed that albinism is associated with a recessive oca2 variant. This variant leads to early termination of the Oca2 protein. This study identifies a novel model system to investigate conserved mechanisms of pigmentation biology.

Type I Oculocutaneous Albinism Associated with a Full-Length Deletion of the Tyrosinase Gene [PDF]
Type I oculocutaneous albinism is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin is reduced or absent in skin, hair, and eyes because of deficient activity of tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1).

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.
