PurposeHermansky–Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, excessive bleeding, and often additional symptoms. Variants in ten different genes have been involved in HPS. However, some patients lack variants in these genes. We aimed to identify new genes involved in nonsyndromic or syndromic forms of albinism.MethodsTwo hundr...
Genetic disorders affecting biogenesis and transport of lysosome-related organelles are heterogeneous diseases frequently associated with albinism. We studied a patient with albinism, neutropenia, immunodeficiency, neurodevelopmental delay, generalized seizures, and impaired hearing but with no mutation in genes so far associated with albinism and ...
A 29-year-old man with a history of oculocutaneous albinism presented to the ED complaining of progressive dyspnea on exertion. One month prior to admission, the patient had begun to experience worsening dyspnea provoked by routine household activities. Additionally, he had developed a nonproductive cough, exacerbated by cold weather. He denied ass...

To report a case of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. A seven-year-old boy presented with marked generalized hypopigmentation, ocular exodeviation and nystagmus. He had history of easy bruising. Examination revealed green irides with marked transillumination, hypopigmented fundi and foveal hypoplasia. Further investigations disclosed platelet storage defe...
The mouse hypopigmentation mutant pearl is an established model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS), a genetically heterogenous disease with misregulation of the biogenesis/function of melanosomes, lysosomes, and platelet dense granules. The pearl (Ap3b1) gene encodes the beta3A subunit of the AP-3 adaptor complex, which regulates vesicular traffic...
