Abstract excerpt

A study of albinism in Puerto Rico identified 693 persons with albinism. Among these, the type of albinism was determined in 595, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) was found in 495. Approximately five of every six Puerto Rican albinos had HPS. The highest prevalence of HPS yet reported was in the northwestern quarter of the island where at least 1 in 1,800 persons had HPS, and approximately 1 in 21 were carriers....
