Several of the ciliary body/iris signature genes were noteworthy in that their mutation can lead to albinism or hypopigmentation phenotypes, including OA1 (ocular albinism type 1), TYR and TYRP1 (oculocutaneous albinism 1A and 3, respectively), and MLPH (Griscelli syndrome). Here, MLPH is linked to X-linked recessive ocular albinism.
