New Strategies of Genetic Study of Patients With Oculocutaneous Albinism

New Strategies of Genetic Study of Patients With Oculocutaneous Albinism

The oculocutaneous albinism is an autosomal recessive condition associated with mutations in 4 genes. In 20% of patients no mutation is identified. The optimization of genetic analysis methods and the search for new genes involved will help improve the diagnosis in these patients.
