Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 Sine Albinism: Unraveling Differential RAB27A Effector Engagement
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Griscelli syndrome type 2 (GS-2) is an inborn error of immunity characterized by partial albinism and episodes of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). It is caused by RAB27A mutations that encode RAB27A, a member of the Rab GTPase family.

Understanding pseudo-albinism in sole (Solea senegalensis): a transcriptomics and metagenomics approach [PDF]
, 2019 Pseudo-albinism is a pigmentation disorder observed in flatfish aquaculture with a complex, multi-factor aetiology. We tested the hypothesis that pigmentation abnormalities are an overt signal of more generalised modifications in tissue structure and ...
