How do you make albinism?

First off, you don't make it - it's actually a congenital disorder due to a lack of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair. Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive alleles (genes) passed from both parents of an individual, though some rare forms are inherited from only one parent. There are other genetic mutations which are proven to be associated with albinism.

Why is albinism a genetic disease?

Albinism is not a disease. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of pigmment called melanin. Albinism affects people from all races. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backrounds. There are different types of albinism, but all forms are associated with vision problems.


Is albinism a recessive trait or dominant?

Recessive. The trait will only show up if both parents have the gene recessively (aa). If the genetic make up is Aa or AA, there will be melanin production, meaning albinism is an aa gene only. Albinism is a recessive allele.


Is it possible to stop albinism?

No. Albinism is in a person's genetics and you can't stop a person from having it, or change someone who already has it.

Can albinism be cure?

As of now, albinism cannot be cured. This is because albinism is a hereditary disorder and the cause lies at the genetic level. To change the genetic code of each and every cell of the body is an impossible task. That is why, there is no cure for albinism yet but hopefully in the near future, scientists may be able to control the genetic make-up of an individual.
