Oculocutaneous Albinism Type I or Type 1A (OCA1A)[1] is an autosomal recessive skin disease associated with albinism. This type of albinism is caused when the gene OCA1 does not function properly.

The location of OCA1 may be written as "11q1.4-q2.1", meaning it is on chromosome 11, long arm, somewhere in the range of band 1, sub-band 4, and band 2, sub-band 1.
