Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the tyrosinase (oculocutaneous albinism IA) (TYR) gene, located at chromosome 11q14-q21, which encodes for a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. This inherited genetic mutation has been identified in patients with oculocutaneous albinism (tyrosinase negative) types 1A (OCA1A) or 1B (OCA1B).
