Albinism: a genetic condition that reduces or stops the body's melanin production, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, & eyes. Albino people often have very light skin, hair, and eye color. It can also affect vision, causing problems like poor sight and light sensitivity. Most people with albinism have blue, hazel, green, or light brown eyes, depending on the amount of melanin pigmentation. Some may appear to have red or violet eyes since the lack of melanin allows underlying blood vessels to show. Their skin is more sensitive to the sun, they burn easily and have a higher risk of skin damage. Albinism is present from birth and is inherited through genes. Most have normal health and lifespan with proper care. But many face social challenges like persecution, stigma, and discrimination in different parts of the world. 🧬☀️👁️ [Read more1] [Read more2] [Read more3] [Read more4] @googlefactss #Albinism#Genetics#Awareness#Inclusion If you have ideas or feedback contact us: @Googlefactss_Feedback_bot
