Understanding Albinism: Causes and Types by akshayvardhan025 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Albinism is a congenital disorder resulting from the absence of melanin in skin, hair, and eyes, primarily due to a deficiency of the enzyme tyrosinase. It includes types such as Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA) and Ocular Albinism, with various clinical features like pale skin, light hair, and vision problems. Diagnosis involves clinical appearance and genetic testing, while treatment focuses on sun protection and managing symptoms, as there is no permanent cure.
