Abstract
Albinism connotes a large group of genetic disorders that are characterized by diminished ocular and offentimes cutaneous pigmentation. These disorders are generally subclasslfied as oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) or ocular albinism (OA) based on the extent of their effects on the pigmentation of the skin and halr. Sometimes, different mutations in the same gene can cause OCA or OA.Keywords
