Extractions: An example of recessive inheritance: albinism Our facial features, just like the rest of our body, are 'designed' by our genes. Albinism is a group of conditions where people are born with little or no pigmentation in their eyes, skin and hair (or sometimes just in the eyes alone). It occurs because they have inherited one or more faulty genes that do not produce the usual amounts of a pigment called Melanin. Apart from their physical appearance, those with the condition can experience a number of associated problems, depending on which genetic type they have. Particularly common are problems with vision and from skin burning in sunlight. About 1 in 17,000 children born in the UK have some type of Albinism. It affects all races, but may be slightly more common in some, such as those of black African origin. The genetics of albinism Several different genes are involved with pigment production, including genes on chromosomes 9,10, 11,13,15 and X, but it's not clear exactly what role each of these plays in the condition. In most cases there is no family history and the children are born to parents with normal pigmentation for their race.

There is no cure for the group of disorders covered by albinism but treatments and aids can often help the symptoms.

What is albinism? The term albinism encompasses a wide range of traits, allof which result from problems with pigment production or distribution.
http://www.geocities.com/~amazondoc/albinism/textframe2.html

Extractions: last update 10/18/02 The term "albinism" encompasses a wide range of traits, all of which result from problems with pigment production or distribution. So far, more than 60 different mutations have been isolated from many different species. Many of these mutations and their subsequent effects have been found to be identical in both humans and non-humans. Since the basic mechanisms for pigment production are nearly identical across all mammals, most data gathered from one species can easily be applied to other species. The various albino mutations may act in different ways and may occur at several different sites, but the end result is always a defect in the amount of pigment being produced and/or distributed. To see databases of some of the many types of albinistic mutations already described in humans and mice, look here and here.

Medical Encyclopedia Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Hypopigmentation, Ocular Albinism, Oculocutaneous Albinism Definition Albinism refers to a group of related conditions. These conditions are the result of altered genes that cause a defect of melanin production. This defect results in the partial or full absence of pigment from the skin, hair, and eyes. Nevus, Halo An amino acid called tyrosine is normally converted by the body to the pigment melanin. Albinism results when the body is unable to produce or distribute melanin because of one of several possible defects. In particular, defects in the metabolism of tyrosine leading to failure to convert it into melanin, can cause albinism.

Mensen met albinisme hebben een stoornis in de pigmentvorming van hun ogen, huid en haar waardoor geen omzetting plaatsheeft van tyrosine in melanine, hetgeen kan leiden tot een 'totale' bleke huid, geelwit haar, rode pupillen, bleekblauwe irissen, soms astigmatisme, fotofobie, en nystagmus.(Oculocutaan albinisme) In sommige gevallen is er alleen een gestoorde pigmentvorming in de ogen.

Extractions: Albinism Scroll down to review course CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM This special issue dealing with genetic disorders of the eye is the first in our series of home-study, continuing education courses for optometrists. If you would like to receive future lessons for CECs or simply for their interest and benefit, we invite you to contact your Marchon sales representative or write directly to Marchon for a free copy. Ocular albinism is purely and typically genetic in nature. So your investigation of albinism actually serves as prototype for studying and understanding the basic principles behind other inherited eye diseases; for example, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and color-vision deficiency. But our text offers more: In addition to contributing to your understanding of genetic eye diseases in general, our updated material on albinism can be put to use clinically in your everyday optometric practice. This will prove to be especially useful in cases of "hidden" albinism. Details on how to carry out the multiple-choice examination are spelled out below. Note that, by obtaining a passing grade on the lesson's optional, multiple-choice examination, you will be entitled to two hours of continuing education credits toward your annual State Board relicensing. However, even if you're not looking for CECs and you don't intend to qualify, why not test your knowledge of the subject by taking the Q-and-A test for your own enlightenment and satisfaction?
