Mutations in the gene have also been identified as the cause of human Type IV oculocutaneous albinism. [14] SLC45A2 is the so-called cream gene responsible in horses for buckskin, palomino and cremello coloration, while a mutation in this gene underlies the white tiger variant. [15]
Leucistic white lions owe their colouring to a recessive allele. Note the eyes and lips remain the normal colour. Studies have shown that the reduced pigment comes from a mutation in the gene for tyrosinase, the same as causes Type I oculocutaneous albinism in humans. [1] This white horse owes its coloring to a dominant allele (dominant white).

Golden tiger in Buffalo Zoo. All golden tabby tigers in captivity seem traceable to a white tiger called Bhim, [3] a white son of a part-white Amur tiger named Tony. Tony is considered to be a common ancestor of all white tigers in North America. Bhim was a carrier of the wide band gene and transmitted this to some of his offspring.
