Cross-species summary: Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism (OCA, type II) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin pigment is reduced in skin, hair, and eyes. Renamed from 'Coat colour, oculocutaneous albinism, OCA2-related' [07/09/2024]

Species-specific name: Red eye colour

Species-specific description: Chang et al. (2024) "use genomic and transcriptomic analyses to identify candidate genes and propose that OCA2 is the most important candidate gene for the red-eyed phenotype in domestic guppies."
