Hey Jeff,

What do you think those results mean? Even if they weren't allelic I would still expect the offspring to be albinos since they inherit defective copies of the gene from both parents. So both copies are defective and it doesn't matter what the specific allele is, right?

So does that mean different genes are the cause of albino in nelsens and ruthvens?

Best,
Vinny
