Autosomal recessive ocular albinism associated with a functionally significant tyrosinase gene polymorphism
Autosomal recessive ocular albinism (AROA) is a disorder characterized by reduced pigmentation of the retina and iris, hypoplastic fovea, variably reduced visual acuity and nystagmus. Pigmentation of… Expand

Frequent intragenic deletion of the P gene in Tanzanian patients with type II oculocutaneous albinism (OCA2).
Type II oculocutaneous albinism (OCA2) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin pigment is reduced in the skin, hair, and eyes. OCA2, which results from mutations of… Expand

Organization and nucleotide sequence of the human KIT (mast/stem cell growth factor receptor) proto-oncogene.
We have cloned and sequenced the human KIT proto-oncogene, which contains 21 exons and spans more than 34 kb of DNA on chromosome segment 4q12. We also establish physical linkage between the KIT gene… Expand

Mutations of the tyrosinase gene in patients with oculocutaneous albinism from various ethnic groups in Israel.
We have analyzed the tyrosinase (TYR) gene in 38 unrelated patients with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), derived from several different ethnic groups of the diverse population of Israel. We detected… Expand

Dominant negative and loss of function mutations of the c-kit (mast/stem cell growth factor receptor) proto-oncogene in human piebaldism.
Piebaldism is an autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development and is characterized by congenital white patches of skin and hair from which melanocytes are completely absent. A similar… Expand

Type I oculocutaneous albinism associated with a full-length deletion of the tyrosinase gene.
Type I oculocutaneous albinism is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin is reduced or absent in skin, hair, and eyes because of deficient activity of tyrosinase (EC… Expand

Novel mutations and deletions of the KIT (steel factor receptor) gene in human piebaldism.
Piebaldism is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder of pigmentation characterized by white patches of skin and hair. Melanocytes are lacking in these hypopigmented regions, the result of mutations… Expand

Mutations of the KIT (mast/stem cell growth factor receptor) proto-oncogene account for a continuous range of phenotypes in human piebaldism.
Piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of pigmentation, characterized by congenital patches of white skin and hair from which melanocytes are absent. We have previously shown that… Expand
