Description : Ocular albinism type I (OA1) is the most common form of ocular albinism. Clinical
presentation of OA1 in Caucasians is characterized by nystagmus, impaired visual acuity,
iris hypopigmentation with translucency, albinotic fundus, macular hypoplasia, and
normally pigmented skin and hair. Carrier females usually have punctate iris translucency
and a mottled pattern of fundus pigmentation. In contrast to Caucasian patients, black
or Japanese patients with OA1 often have brown irides with little or no translucency
and varying degrees of fundus hypopigmentation, the so-called 'nonalbinotic fundus'
(summary by Xiao and Zhang, 2009).;
