Description : In a large Afrikaner kindred, Winship et al. (1984) observed 7 males in 4 sibships
in 3 generations with the combination of typical ocular albinism and sensorineural
deafness of late onset. Typicality of the ocular albinism was supported by numerous
macromelanosomes demonstrated on skin biopsy of both affected males and carriers.
Deafness was moderately severe by late middle age. The pedigree pattern was consistent
with X-linked recessive inheritance. In the same large South African family, Winship
et al. (1993) found tight linkage to the DXS452 locus at Xp22.3 using 25 informative
meioses, with a maximum lod score of 7.1 at a recombination fraction of 0.0. Since
OA1 (300500) has been mapped to Xp22.3-p22.2, Winship et al. (1993) suggested that
