Albinism is a pigment disorder affecting eye, skin and/or hair. Patients usually have
decreased melanin in affected tissues and suffer from severe visual abnormalities, including …

▪ Abstract Differences in skin and hair color are principally genetically determined and are
due to variation in the amount, type, and packaging of melanin polymers produced by …

Pigmentary glaucoma is a significant cause of human blindness. Abnormally liberated iris
pigment and cell debris enter the ocular drainage structures, leading to increased …

We present results from a genome-wide association study for variants associated with
human pigmentation characteristics among 5,130 Icelanders, with follow-up analyses in …

Albinism, caused by a deficiency of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eye
(oculocutaneous albinism [OCA]), or primarily in the eye (ocular albinism [OA]), results from …

Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) affects∼ 1/20,000 people worldwide. All forms of OCA

A review is presented of the seven commonest types of colour aberrations in birds together
with suggestions for a standardised universal nomenclature to identify and distinguish these …

There is no doubt that visual impressions of body form and color are important in the
interactions within and between human communities. Remarkably, it is the levels of just one …

Purpose.: Albinism is associated with disrupted foveal development, though intersubject
variability is becoming appreciated. We sought to quantify this variability, and examine the …
