Significance: Carriers of ocular albinism demonstrate signs of retinal mosaicism with unique features on fundus autofluorescence testing, which differentiate this condition from other x-linked retinal disorders in carrier patients. Distinctive findings include a mud-splattered fundus with peripheral hyperpigmented streaks, which correlate with areas of hyperautofluorescence and hypoautofluorescence.

Purpose: This is the first reported case series of a family that demonstrates diagnostic retinal and fundus autofluorescence abnormalities related to retinal mosaicism in three sisters who were unaware they were carriers of ocular albinism type 1.

Purpose: To describe the complex, overlapping phenotype expressed in a two generation family harboring pathogenic mutations in the ABCA4 and GPR143 genes.

Methods: Clinical evaluation of a two generation family included quantitative autofluorescence imaging (qAF, 488-nm excitation) using a modified confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope equipped with an internal fluorescent reference to account for varying laser power detector sensitivity, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and full-field ERG testing. Complete sequencing of the ABCA4 and GPR143 genes was carried out in each individual.
