“…In this study, comprehensive analysis of all currently known nsOCA genes (TYR, OCA2, TYRP1, SLC45A2, SLC24A5, and LRMDA) in 114 nsOCA patients recruited from 18 provinces in China shows the prevalence of OCA1, OCA2, OCA4, and OCA6 is 65.79%, 14.03%, 6.14%, and 0.88%, respectively, and the left nsOCA with uncertain causative defect of molecule (13.16%). In our cohort, OCA1 is the most common type of nsOCA and OCA2 ranks as the second most common type of nsOCA, which are in accordance with what reported in Japanese (Suzuki & Tomita, 2008), non-Hispanic Caucasians (Hutton & Spritz, 2008a), Danes (Gronskov et al, 2009), in the population of a European setting at the albino day hospital (Marti et al, 2018), and in the group of the patients mainly from France who were originated from different countries worldwide . In this study, we OCA2_c.849C>A were confirmed to be pathogenic in further function study, two patients with those variants would be OCA2.…”
