Familial association of albinism and schizophrenia
1University of Birmingham Academic Unit, All Saints Hospital.
Abstract:
Of three siblings in a family, one brother and one sister have both tyrosinase-negative oculocutaneous albinism and a psychotic disorder indistinguishable from schizophrenia. The two disorders may associate within families through genetic linkage or a failure of neurotransmitter homoeostasis.
