 Albinism, also know as one who is albino, is a form of hypopigmentary congenital disorder. Meaning that their is a lack of melanin pigment in the eyes skin, and hair. [|Albinism] <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace"><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace"><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace"><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif"><span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif">is a result of the inheritance of recessive alleles. This genetic disorder cannot be transfered through direct or by indirect contact. The albinism trait can only be transfered through parent-child biological relationships. The fact that Albinism is a recessive trait, makes it very rare to see. Thus why we don't see very many "albino's" in everyday life. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace"><span style="font-family:

This is infact not true, they are perfectly capable of producing offspring. Some also think that if you have albinism, your life span is shortened, which is not true at all. Also it is precived that someone who has this trait will go blind halfway through life. This is also not true. In Zimbabwe there is a superstition that if a man that is HIV positive has sex with an albino woman then it will cure him. This leads to many albino women getting raped and contracting the virus. There are many different forms of this genetic disorder, hair color can range from red to almost clear and skin color has a similiar array of alleles. Most albinos have les than average vision and often need visual aid. Eye color can range from violet to red to light blue depending on the levels of blue (non-malanin) pigment in the irises. There are many different disorders that are mislabeled by the public as albinism. These include Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Chediak-Higashi Syndrome and Griscelli Syndrome all of wich have very similiar effects as albinism but can affect other things such as mortality rate and decreased vision. ======

There are also 2 different types of Ocular Albinism; There are also rare varieties of Albinism amongst the Hopi African Americans which can lead to deafness. It's a new speculation as of 07'.
 * 1) Type 1, known as Nettleship-Falls syndrome, affects the eyes but generally not the hair or skin. Most cause a genetic mutation in the X-chromosome, so are therefore male dominant. It is also the most common type of ocular Albinism.
 * 2) Type 2, or Forsius-Eriksson syndrome, will only affect males. Females may carry this, but only is dominant in males. Often related to color blindness and night blindness.
