Tyrosinase gene mutations causing oculocutaneous albinisms.

Abstract excerpt

Since the first report of a mutation in the tyrosinase gene that causes tyrosinase-negative oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), more than 25 alleles with a different mutation in patients with three types of OCA, i.e., tyrosinase-negative OCA (type IA), yellow-mutant OCA (type IB), and temperature sensitive OCA (type ITS), have been found in several laboratories. The mutated alleles are presently classified into three...
