It's been my impression that "hypo" is not really a specific mutation, rather sort of a catch all term to describe any number of genetic conditions that result in reduced melanin. Whereas "T Plus" describes a specific mutation that results from a specific process.
In other words "hypo" describes a result and "T Plus" decribes a cause. All "T Plus Amelanistics" are hypo because they look hypo and hypo is just a look, but not all hypos are T Plus Amels because hypo is just a look that can result from numerous different causes. ----- www.hcu-tx.org/
