__**Gene Mutation for Albinism**__

Albinism comes with gene mutations that are NOT visable on a karyotype. The chromosome where the gene is mutated is differnt for each type. A list of examples can be seen below.

__//Oculocutaneous Albinism has 4 different types of versions, and each of them have a different gene mutation to them.//__
 * **Type 1-**mutation on chromosome 11.
 * **Type 2-**mutation on chromosome 15.
 * **Type 3-**mutation on chromosome 09.
 * **Type 4-** mutation on chromosome 05.

__//X-linked ocular Albinism is caused by a mutation on the X sex chromomsome.//__
