positive angle kappa and albinism

I have heard that positive angle kappa with nystagmus is a
sign of ocular albinism. Is this a reliable test for albinism?

A sign of a condition is not a test for the condition.; a sign would mean
that the condition should be considered and, if a test is available, the
testing should be considered. Nystagmus can be associated with many
conditions, albanism is one.

There are blood tests for some types of albanism but not for ocular
albanism. Iris transillumination and examination of the retina are the
usual tests for ocular albinism. For more info see:
