Albinism
Albinism in humans
is a congenital
disorder characterize
d by the complete
or partial absence
of pigment in the
skin, hair and eyes.
www.iamrahuljain.in
The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution in
2013 calling for the prevention of attacks and discrimination
against persons with albinism.
www.iamrahuljain.in
Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to
affect all vertebrates, including humans. It is due to absence or defect
of tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production
of melanin.

Signs and symptoms
In humans, there are two principal
types of albinism: oculocutaneous,
affecting the eyes, skin and hair,
and ocular affecting the eyes only.
www.iamrahuljain.in
Signs and symptoms
According to the National
Organization for Albinism and
Hypopigmentation, "With ocular
albinism, the color of the iris of
the eye may vary from blue to
green or even brown, and
sometimes darkens with age.

Enzyme
The enzyme defect
responsible for OCA1-type
albinism is tyrosine 3-
monooxygenase (tyrosinase),
which synthesizes melanin
from the amino acid tyrosin
