Gene context of Hypopigmentation

  • We herein present genetic and functional evidence that a third form of GS (GS3), whose expression is restricted to the characteristic hypopigmentation of GS, results from mutation in the gene that encodes melanophilin (Mlph), the ortholog of the gene mutated in leaden mice [10].
  • These findings expand the molecular diagnosis of HPS, provide a screening method for a mutation common among Jews, and suggest that other patients with mild hypopigmentation and decreased vision should be examined for HPS [2].
  • While PTU is frequently used to induce hypopigmentation in biological systems, little is known about its effects on tyrosinase and other melanogenic proteins [26].
  • HPS-3 manifests with mild hypopigmentation and bleeding [27].
  • A molecular analysis of the yemenite deaf-blind hypopigmentation syndrome: SOX10 dysfunction causes different neurocristopathies [28].
