1 Rufous Oculocutaneous Albinism in Southern African Blacks Is Caused by Mutations in the TYRP1 Gene

2 Figure 1 Two sibs (front) affected with an atypical form of OCA and their normally pigmented father (back left). Their mother was not available, although she was reported as being normally pigmented. Seen with the sibs and their father is an unrelated individual affected with ROCA. She is a compound heterozygote for the TYRP1 mutations (S166X/368delA). The sibs also are compound heterozygotes for the same TYRP1 mutations (S166X/368delA) but, in addition, are heterozygous for the 2.7-kb deletion at the P locus. The 368delA mutation was inherited from the sibs' father; therefore, the remaining two mutations (S166X and the 2.7-kb deletion) must have been inherited from their mother.
