Phenotypic appearance of iridal hypopigmentation. HF cattle were ophthalmological and neurological examined and irises underwent histologic evaluation. a and b: Coat color of affected cattle was typical for the breed and without any sign for albinism.

All affected cattle showed a bicolored iris with a central ring of silver-blue and a peripheral ring of brown-gray. Iris color within one iris showed alternating darker and lighter parts
