Abstract excerpt

Two mutants, OCA2∗481Thr (c.1441G>A, p.Ala481Thr) and OCA2∗615Arg (c.1844A>G, p.His615Arg), in the OCA2 (oculocutaneous albinism type II) gene are associated with hypopigmentation in East Asians. Here, these two alleles were studied to assess the frequencies in five different populations. In addition, the allele frequency of OCA2∗615Arg was investigated in seven populations. Among a total of 24 global populations...
