2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.329Oculocutaneous albinism, unspecified

AHRQ’s CCSR groups this code into broader clinical categories.

• OCA2 wt Allele|BEY|BEY1|BEY2|BOCA|D15S12|EYCL|EYCL2|EYCL3|Eye Color 2 (Central Brown) Gene|Eye Color 3 (Brown) Gene|HCL3|Hair Color 3 (Brown) Gene|OCA2 Melanosomal Transmembrane Protein wt Allele|Oculocutaneous Albinism II (Pink-Eye Dilution Homolog, Mouse) Gene|Oculocutaneous Albinism II Gene|P|P Gene|PED|Pink-Eyed Dilution Gene|SHEP1|Total Brown Iris Pigmentation Gene

  human oca2 wild-type allele is located within 15q12-q13.1 and is approximately 344 kb in length. this allele, which encodes p protein, is involved in eye and skin color. mutations in this gene are associated with type 2 oculocutaneous albinism.

• OCA5 Gene|Albinism, Oculocutaneous, Type VII Gene|OCA5|OCA5|OCA5|OCA7|Oculocutaneous Albinism 5 (Autosomal Recessive) Gene

  human oca5 gene is located within 4q24 and the size of this phenotypic locus is not reported. this gene region has no known protein product. autosomal recessive mutation of the gene is associated with oculocutaneous albinism 5.

• Oculocutaneous Albinism

  an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations of the oca2, slc45a2, tyr and tyrp1 genes. it is characterized by hypopigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes, resulting in very fair skin, white colored hair, and reduced pigmentation in the iris and retina. individuals may have vision disturbances and photophobia.

• Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1A|OCA1A

  oculocutaneous albinism inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, and caused by mutation(s) in the tyr gene, encoding tyrosinase.

• SLC24A5 wt Allele|JSX|NCKX5|OCA6|Oculocutaneous Albinism 6 (Autosomal Recessive) Gene|SHEP4|Solute Carrier Family 24 (Sodium/Potassium/Calcium Exchanger), Member 5 Gene|Solute Carrier Family 24 Member 5 wt Allele|Solute Carrier Family 24, Member 5 Gene

  human slc24a5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q21.1 and is approximately 22 kb in length. this allele, which encodes sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 5 protein, is involved in melanosome pigmentation. mutation of the gene is associated with oculocutaneous albinism type 6.

• TYR wt Allele|ATN|CMM8|OCA1|OCA1A|OCAIA|SHEP3|Tyrosinase (Oculocutaneous Albinism IA) Gene|Tyrosinase wt Allele

  human tyr wild-type allele is located within 11q14-q21 and is approximately 118 kb in length. this allele, which encodes tyrosinase protein, plays a role in the multi-step biosynthesis of melanin from tyrosine. allelic variants of the tyr gene cause three different types of oculocutaneous albinism.

Eye Diseases

Even if your eyes feel healthy, you could have a problem and not know it. That's why regular eye exams are so important. Refractive errors are the most common type of vision problem that makes it hard to see clearly. But some eye conditions or diseases don't have any symptoms and can lead to a permanent loss of vision.

The full article covers:

• What diseases can affect the eye?
• What are the symptoms of eye diseases?
• Who is more likely to develop eye diseases?
• What are the treatments for eye diseases?
• Can eye diseases be prevented?
