Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism which causes abnormal pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes. It is caused by mutations in genes responsible for producing protein complexes that construct lysosome-related organelles important for pigment production. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and causes fair skin/hair color, visual impairment, and increased risk of skin damage from sun exposure. Diagnosis involves examining physical features and genetic testing. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on protecting the skin and eyes from sun exposure.
