0 a condition in which a person or animal lacks pigment (= colour), so that they have white skin and hair and pink eyes
It needs no gainsaying that albinism must in itself constitute a very complex mode of being-in-society.
None of the others had visual disturbances severe enough to require special educational facilities and none had attended hospital or clinic on account of disabilities caused by their albinism.
Most people with albinism die of skin cancer before they reach age 30.
I would like to remind you that albinism affects one in 20 000 people worldwide.
The term person with albinism is preferred to the term albino.
The pointed pattern is a form of partial albinism, resulting from a mutation in tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production.
However, the diagnosis of albinism in humans is based on visual impairment, which has not been described in white horses.
Some individual animals and humans have very little or no melanin synthesis in their bodies, a condition known as albinism.
