Ocular albinism - late-onset sensorineural deafness – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/746470881

Oculo-cutaneous albinism is a generic term covering a large group of genetic diseases characterised by hypopigmentation of eyes, hair and skin. The ocular anomalies are severe, the patients show reduced visual acuity, photophobia, nystagmus, translucent irides, strabismus, hypermetropic refractive errors, and albinotic fundus with foveal hypoplasia. Skin hypopigmentation induces an increased risk of cutaneous cancer.
