Answer:

Why are there different variations of albinism and why it results in the same basic phenotype?

The phenotypic heterogeneity of albinism is due to the different gene mutations affecting various points along the melanin pathway, resulting in varying degrees of decreased melanin production. Additionally, associated developmental changes occur in the optic system as a result from this hypopigmentation.
