    Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. Type II is the most common type of OCA and is especially prevalent among individuals of African heritage and in several Native American populations. It is an autosomal recessive condition caused by homozygous 2.7 kb deletions in the OCA2 gene (15q24.3-q12). Heterozygotes have normal pigmentation. People with OCA2 usually have fair skin, but are often not as pale as OCA1.
