The four types of oculocutaneous albinism each result from mutations in a single gene: TYR, OCA2, TYRP1, or SLC45A2. Changes in the TYR gene cause type 1; mutations in the OCA2 gene are responsible for type 2; TYRP1 mutations cause type 3; and changes in the SLC45A2 gene result in type 4.he four types of oculocutaneous albinism each result from mutations in a single gene: TYR, OCA2, TYRP1, or SLC45A2.
