Abstract excerpt
Albinism is a genetically heterogeneous disease in which 21 genes are known so far. Its inheritance mode is autosomal recessive except for one X-linked form. The molecular analysis of exonic sequences of these genes allows for about a 70% diagnostic rate. About half (15%) of the unsolved cases are heterozygous for one pathogenic or probably pathogenic variant. Assuming that the missing variant may be located in...
