Mutation
The mutation for blue eyes is not in the OCA2 gene but in HERC2, it says so right in the titles of the cited studies. 84.160.217.94 (talk) 20:15, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * So it does. Corrected.  72.18.60.38 (talk) 15:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Worth mentioning prevalence
I think it's worth mentioning the following:
 * The prevalence of OCA type 2 is estimated at 1/38,000-1/40,000 in most populations throughout the world, with a higher prevalence in the African population of 1/3,900-1/1,500.

I see this information being repeatedly deleted with the reason that it is "redundant" but I don't think it is. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:31, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll add this information now. Also, I adapted a preceding sentence to the fact that OCA2 is one of several causes of oculocutaneous albinism. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:07, 2 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Of course the prevalence is important - it is vital information and must be included.__DrChrissy (talk) 23:23, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * you should be more specific in pointing out the difference between the condition OCA2, and the gene OCA2. The gene does not cause anything, it is a mutation in the gene, which causes the albinism. The gene should really have the name the "P" gene, but someone unfortunately named a functional gene after a medical condition, which creates the confusion and which is a bit ridiculous. 2.104.41.248 (talk) 01:47, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
