albino strains, but I do know that there are at least two, and possibly more, mutations that will result in amelanism. This may explain why one line would have eye problems and another would not. I am speculating somewhat, but where the melanin pathway has been interrupted may be important. Then again it is speculation to assume that the incidence of eye defects is the result of inbreeding.



>>have you ever heard of a blind albino from the other strain? Just curious..maybe the defect is within that bloodline and not directly ties to the fact that it is an albino? Anybody else know if there has been sharp strain albinos born blind?
