What is Albinism? Download the pdf version. Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader Vision Problems Skin Problems While most people with albinism are fair in complexion, skin or hair color is not diagnostic of albinism. People with many types of albinism need to take precautions to avoid damage to the skin caused by the sun such as wearing sunscreen lotions, hats and sun-protective clothing. Types of Albinism While most people with albinism have very light skin and hair, not all do. Oculocutaneous (pronounced ock-you-low-kew-TAIN-ee-us) albinism (OCA) involves the eyes, hair and skin. Ocular albinism (OA), which is much less common, involves primarily the eyes, while skin and hair may appear similar or slightly lighter than that of other family members. Oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA2 or P gene albinism) results from a genetic defect in the P protein that helps the tyrosinase enzyme to function. Individuals with OCA2 make a minimal amount of melanin pigment and can have hair color ranging from very light blond to brown. Oculocutaneous albinism type 3 (OCA3) is rarely described and results from a genetic defect in TYRP1, a protein related to tyrosinase. Individuals with OCA3 can have substantial pigment.

Tiger Heterozygous Albino Reticulated Python Python reticulatus) Common Name: Reticulated Python Scientific Name: Python reticulatus Morph: Tiger heterozygous for Albinism Genetics: Co-dominant Status: Now Available We produce our Tiger hets using beautiful, tame Super Tiger females and a Purple Albino male (pictured on the logo and in Reptiles Magazine). The Albino Super Tiger has not been produced yet, so the project is still in its infancy. Our line produces mostly the "classic" pattern. The classic pattern will have more black and therefore more purple in the albino. We do produce a few stripes if that is what you prefer. There will be very limited availability on these this year and the deposit list is filling fast. We can reserve babies with a 20% deposit. You can be very early in the Albino Tiger project by getting some of these guys this year. Unrelated pairs available.

MeSH Albinism (from Latin albus , "white"; see extended etymology , also called achromia achromasia , or achromatosis ) is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of an enzyme involved in the production of melanin . Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates , including humans . The most common term used for an organism affected by albinism is " albino ". Additional clinical adjectives sometimes used to refer to animals are "albinoid" and "albinic". Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects, such as photophobia nystagmus and astigmatism . Lack of skin pigmentation makes the organism more susceptible to sunburn and skin cancers. Contents Classification in humans Signs and symptoms Visual problems Genetics ... edit Classification in humans There are two main categories of albinism in humans: In oculocutaneous albinism Types 1-4 with different levels with pigmentation (despite its Latin-derived name meaning "eye-and-skin" albinism), pigment is lacking in the eyes, skin and hair. (The equivalent mutation in non-humans also results in lack of melanin in the fur, scales or feathers.) People with oculocutaneous albinism can have anything from no pigment at all to almost normal levels.

Glossary definitions Reviewed March 2007 What is oculocutaneous albinism? Oculocutaneous albinism is a group of conditions that affect coloring (pigmentation) of the skin, hair, and eyes. Affected individuals typically have very fair skin and white or light-colored hair. Long-term sun exposure greatly increases the risk of skin damage and skin cancers, including an aggressive form of skin cancer called melanoma, in people with this condition. Oculocutaneous albinism also reduces pigmentation of the colored part of the eye (the iris) and the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (the retina). People with this condition usually have vision problems such as reduced sharpness; rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus); and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia). The four types of oculocutaneous albinism are designated as type 1 (OCA1) through type 4 (OCA4). Oculocutaneous albinism type 1 is characterized by white hair, very pale skin, and light-colored irises. Type 2 is typically less severe than type 1; the skin is usually a creamy white color and hair may be light yellow, blond, or light brown. Type 3 includes a form of albinism called rufous oculocutaneous albinism, which usually affects dark-skinned people. Affected individuals have reddish-brown skin, ginger or red hair, and hazel or brown irises. Type 3 is often associated with milder vision abnormalities than the other forms of oculocutaneous albinism. Type 4 has signs and symptoms similar to those seen with type 2. Because their features overlap, the four types of oculocutaneous albinism are most accurately distinguished by their genetic cause.

Glossary definitions Reviewed July 2007 What is ocular albinism? Ocular albinism is a genetic condition that primarily affects the eyes. This condition reduces the coloring (pigmentation) of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Pigmentation in the eye is essential for normal vision. Ocular albinism is characterized by severely impaired sharpness of vision (visual acuity) and problems with combining vision from both eyes to perceive depth (stereoscopic vision). Although the vision loss is permanent, it does not worsen over time. Other eye abnormalities associated with this condition include rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus); eyes that do not look in the same direction (strabismus); and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia). Many affected individuals also have abnormalities involving the optic nerves, which carry visual information from the eye to the brain.

What is Albinism? The word “albinism” refers to a group of inherited conditions. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism. Albinism affects people from all races. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backgrounds. Sometimes people do not recognize that they have albinism. A common myth is that people with albinism have red eyes. In fact there are different types of albinism and the amount of pigment in the eyes varies. Although some individuals with albinism have reddish or violet eyes, most have blue eyes. Some have hazel or brown eyes. However, all forms of albinism are associated with vision problems. Vision Problems People with albinism always have problems with vision (not correctable with eyeglasses) and many have low vision. The degree of vision impairment varies with the different types of albinism and many people with albinism are “legally blind,” but most use their vision for many tasks including reading and do not use Braille. Some people with albinism have sufficient vision to drive a car. Vision problems in albinism result from abnormal development of the retina and abnormal patterns of nerve connections between the eye and the brain. It is the presence of these eye problems that defines the diagnosis of albinism. Therefore the main test for albinism is simply an eye examination.

Albinism Genetics Albinism Albinism symptoms Albinism treatment Albinism pictures Albinism genetics Albinism is a genetic disease that may occur in children whose parents do not suffer of albinism. Children with albinism are born with a very clear skin and hair color, almost white, due to the absence of pigment (melanin, which protects the skin from the sun's radiation and usually gives a complexion more or less coloured). The incidence of albinism is elevated in patients with dark skin. Albinism genetics pictures Oculocutaneous albinism is a group of hereditary diseases that rarely occur, characterized by total or partial depigmentation of the skin, hair and hair with eye disorders. During albinism, the number of melanocytes, that is to say, cells that produce melanin is normal, but there are at genetic level, mutations of the tyrosinase gene the enzyme that is required to manufacture the melanin pigment. The transmission of this disease is autosomal recessive, that is to say, it is necessary that both parents carry the abnormal gene for the offspring. The amount of melanin depends on several factors: Heredity.
