Abstract excerpt
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a rare disorder of pigment production. Affected individuals have variably decreased global pigmentation and visual-developmental changes that lead to low vision. OCA is notable for significant missing heritability, particularly among individuals with residual pigmentation. Tyrosinase (TYR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin pigment biosynthesis and mutations that decrease...
