What is the sequence of the mutation for the gene that causes albinism?

Question

The main enzyme for making melanin is Tyrosinase, but I don't know the actual location of the gene or its mutation, besides it occurs on chromosome 11.

Answer 1

Okay but which subtype??

oculocutaneous albinism 1 is the one that comes to mind due to your stating about the 11th chromosome and the absence of tyrosinase. The mutations happen by inactivity of the tyrosinase or in the production ...so there is a nullity in the mutation or there is the leaky mutation. That is 11q14-21

Now, if your talking about the subtype OCA1A, that's a whole 'nother ball of wax and it's simply nonsense sequential mutations. 11q24.

If I haven't answered your question, give me a personal buzz and I'll work you through it @[e-mail]

Answer 2

extra elementary themes that are with the aid of mutation in gene sequencing all of those aredue to point out mutations (P) the subsequent extensive style or letter is the chromosome that's on disease Mutation Chromosom colour blindness P X Cystic fibrosis P 7q Haemochromatosis P 6 Haemophilia P X Phenylketonuria P 12q Polycystic kidney sickness P sixteen (PKD1) or 4 (PKD2) Sickle-cellular sickness P 11p Tay-Sachs sickness P 15
