Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the tyrosinase gene produce oculocutaneous albinism type 1 (OCA1). Most affected individuals are compound heterozygotes with different maternal and paternal mutations, but a substantial number of presumed tyrosinase alleles in these individuals have no identifiable mutation in the coding or proximal promoter region of the gene. This suggests that mutations in other regions of the gene, such as...
