Albinism is a rare disorder often caused by high-effect rare variants in the TYR gene. Here, the authors study a large albinism cohort and find that a common variant in the TYR promoter contributes to albinism by modifying the penetrance of other common variants, demonstrating a complex genetic architecture.
