Oculocutaneous albinism type 2

1/2021	Pleiotropic function of the oca2 gene underlies the evolution of sleep loss and albinism in cavefish.
1/2018	Behavioural changes controlled by catecholaminergic systems explain recurrent loss of pigmentation in cavefish.
1/2013	A potential benefit of albinism in Astyanax cavefish: downregulation of the oca2 gene increases tyrosine and catecholamine levels as an alternative to melanin synthesis.
