Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1999
Albinism was one of the first genetic diseases to be noted in humans, but until relatively recently, little was known of the molecular mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis. Recent advances have shown us that mutations in at least seven different genes can cause a reduction in melanin pigment biosynthesis, producing the various associated clinical ...

The purpose of this investigation was to study vision in albinism from 3 perspectives: first, to determine the characteristics of grating acuity development in children with albinism; second, to study the effect of illumination on grating acuity; and third, to define the effect of melanin pigment in the macula on visual acuity.I.

Human Albinism and Animal Models of Albinism
Pigment Cell Research, 1988Ten phenotypic forms of oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and four forms of ocular albinism (OA) have been identified in man. All have optic neuronal decussation defects at the optic chiasm. Thus any proposed animal model for these disorders must share optic neuronal decussation defects in addition to hypopigmentation.

Albinism connotes a large group of genetic disorders that are characterized by diminished ocular and oftentimes cutaneous pigmentation. These disorders are generally subclassified as oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) or ocular albinism (OA) based on the extent of their effects on the pigmentation of the skin and hair.

Albinism includes a group of genetic disorders with decreased pigmentation. Eye defects include foveal hypoplasia and misrouting of retinal nerve impulses. The primary concerns of those with albinism are low vision and societal misconceptions, which can also lead to social and emotional problems.
