Albinism Database


Welcome to the Albinism Database.

The Albinism Database is edited by William Oetting, University of Minnesota. This database includes mutations associated with all major known forms of oculocutaneous and ocular albinism. The Albinism Database is part of the Locus Specific Mutation Databases of the Human Genome Variation Society..
