What is x linked occular albinism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Partial albinism: This is a form of albinism, which is partial, and linked to a defect on the x-chromosome. Because of this it occurs in males. It has the much less skin paleness, grey blue eyes rather than pink and a little pigment instead of the totally wiped out albinism of the pure recessive type. But these people still need to avoid the sun and may have some degree of lowering of vision.
