In McCune-Albright syndrome, fibrous connective tissue replaces bone, tan patches (café-au-lait spots) dot the skin, and hormone abnormalities cause early puberty and malfunction of the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands. The phenotype is highly variable, and all patients are somatic mosaics for the mutation, which is in the gene GNAS1. Why is the condition seen only in mosaics?

Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease.

Albinism occurs when cells cannot chemically synthesize pigment molecules. This occurs because the genes encoding the proteins that catalyze those synthesis reactions have sustained mutations. Based on this description, briefly explain whether you think mutations that cause albinism would be more likely to be dominant or recessive.
