BACKGROUND: Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) could be either non-syndromic or syndromic. There are significant challenges in clinically recognizing and differentiating Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) from non-syndromic OCA.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective consecutive case series, 63 patients (less than 18 years old) with a molecular genetic diagnosis of albinism (except OCA1A), Ocular albinism (OA) and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome seen over a 3-year period were evaluated and analyzed. Hair colour, iris colour was graded, compared and correlated with the degree of fundus pigmentation and foveal development.
RESULTS: A total of 63 patients were evaluated. Forty-five patients had non-syndromic OCA (11 OCA1B, 24 OCA2, 9 OCA4, and 1 OCA6), 5 patients had OA and 13 patients had HPS. All 3 BLOC-related HPS categories were seen (1 with BLOC1, 7 with BLOC-2 and 5 with BLOC-3 related HPS). All patients with OA were hyperopic, had darker fundus pigmentation, but had poor foveal development. All HPS patients had lighter fundus pigmentation. The degree of fundus pigmentation correlated positively with the iris pigmentation and also with the foveal development only in OCA2.
CONCLUSIONS: Careful observation of the phenotype by comparison of the skin, hair, iris colour, with the degree of fundus pigmentation and foveal development may help clinically differentiate HPS from OCA patients of Chinese ethnicity even in the absence of any bleeding tendency.
