A description is given of complete albinism in Icelandic sheep. The albino animals, which have occurred both among white and nonwhite strains of sheep, are pure white in color with pink eyes and impaired vision in bright light. The condition is shown to be autosomal, recessive, and is assumed to be caused by a mutation of C to c, thereby being homologous to albinism in rodents. Data on mating results are tabulated. This is believed to be the first case of albinism reported in sheep.
本文描述了冰岛绵羊中的完全白化病。白化病绵羊出现在白色和非白色绵羊品系中，毛色纯白，眼睛呈粉红色，在强光下视力受损。研究表明，这种情况是常染色体隐性遗传，推测是由C突变为c引起的，因此与啮齿动物的白化病同源。文中列出了交配结果的数据。据信这是首次报道的绵羊白化病病例。
