Albinism is a genetic condition characterized by a lack of melanin, the pigment responsible for coloring the skin, hair, and eyes. This condition occurs due to mutations in specific genes that affect melanin production. People with albinism often have very light skin and hair, and their eyes may appear pink or light blue. Individuals with albinism may face challenges such as increased sensitivity to sunlight and a higher risk of skin cancer. They may also experience vision problems, including nystagmus and strabismus. Awareness and education about albinism can help reduce stigma and promote understanding in society.
