Informazioni generali
Oculocutaneous Albinism is a disorder caused by a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes, resulting in a white coat colour and pale eyes, and which can also cause sensitivity to light. This particular variant of the disease, Oculocutaneous Albinism, is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene SLC45A2. It is found in the Lhasa Apso, Pekingese and Pomeranian breeds, as well as in certain mixed-breed dogs. Similar variants of Type IV albinism are found in the Doberman and the Bull Mastiff.
Caratteristiche cliniche
Affected dogs show the classic features of albinism, with white fur, light pink skin and pale fur.
