Albinism is a recessive genetic disorder caused by mutation in the genes of any enzyme or protein taking part in melanin production. This condition causes a decrease or absence of melanin pigment, resulting in decreased skin, hair and eye pigmentation which is manifested as white to gray hair, milky white skin and very light blue or translucent irises.
