A: Image of our patient with oculocutaneous albinism (white skin and hair; eyebrows with slight brown pigmentation; few melanocytic nevi). B: Platelets electron micrograph (magnification X7000), with absent dense bodies and uniform cytoplasm, without membranous inclusions in the majority of the platelets (long arrows). C: Enlarged image of platelets subpopulation corresponding to right long arrow of Fig 1A. (magnification X17000;Ultra thin sections of dehydrated platelet pellets were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and observed under a Zeiss EM900 transmission electron microscope). D: Transverse muscle biopsy section from the quadriceps muscle showing 3 muscle fibers with 1 or more internal nuclei; in 1 of these fibers a splitting line can be seen. (Black bar: 50 micron. Hematoxylin-Phloxine stain). E–F: Sequencing results for tyrosinase (TYR) gene of DNA samples obtained from a normal individual (E) and our patient (F). The arrow indicates the position of the base substitution c.61C>T identified in our patient, corresponding to the p.P21S amino-acid substitution, that has been associated with OCA type 1 in Caucasians.
