Morphology
"Comparison between homozygous albino and wild-type pigmented fish revealed a cluster of indels and SNPs about 25 kb upstream of mitfa, including a 366-bp deletion in the albino mutant. Genotyping this deletion in ∼1,000 fish revealed that this deletion was strictly correlated with the albino phenotype (supplementary fig. S14 and table S9, Supplementary Material online). These data suggest that the 366-bp deletion is a distant cis-regulatory element and could underlie the albino phenotype."
