Hermansky‐Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) or ocular albinism (OA), bleeding tendency, and other symptoms due to multiple defects in tissue‐specific lysosome‐related organelles. Ten HPS subtypes have been characterized with mutations inHPS1toHPS10, which encode the subunits of BLOC‐1, ‐2, ‐3, and AP‐3. Using next‐generation sequencing (NGS), we have screened 100 hypopigmentation genes in OCA or OA patients and identified four HPS‐1, one HPS‐3, one HPS‐4, one HPS‐5, and three HPS‐6. The HPS‐4 case is the first report in the Chinese population. Among these 20 mutational alleles, 16 were previously unreported alleles (6 inHPS1,1 inHPS3,2 inHPS4,2 inHPS5,and 5 inHPS6). BLOC‐2 and BLOC‐3 were destabilized due to the mutation of these HPS genes which are so far the only reported causative genes in Chinese HPS patients, in which HPS‐1 and HPS‐6 are the most common subtypes. The mutational spectrum of Chinese HPS is population specific.
