Albinism is primarily associated with mutations in genes located on various chromosomes, depending on the type of albinism. The most common form, Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1 (OCA1), is linked to mutations in the TYR gene on chromosome 11. Other types of albinism may involve different genes on different chromosomes, such as OCA2 on chromosome 15 and TYRP1 on chromosome 4.
