BERNAL VILLEGAS, Jaime Eduardo. Evidence of genetic mutations associated with albinism in Amerindians. []. , 43, 169, pp.607-613. ISSN 0370-3908.  https://doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.869.

Diverse historical descriptions of albinism among Amerindians are reviewed showing that this inborn error of metabolism was already present in America when the first conquistadores arrived in this continent, which suggests that at least one of the genetic mutations associated with albinism may have come in the genome of the first human migrants across the Bering Strait.
