What are the chances of a person with this disease passing the disease to their offspring (include possible scenarios)?
Scenarios:
Full Albino and Full Albino have a 100% chance of having an Albino child.
If both parents with albinism have the same type of albinism (i.e. OCA1, then the children will be affected), However if both parents have different types of albinism the children will be normally pigmented and carriers for both defective genes. (Leigh Lauflin)
Full Albino and Normal person have a 50% chance of an albino child and a 50% chance of a carrier, but normal child.
A heterozygous albino male and a carrier female have a 75% chance of getting an albino or carrier child and a 25% chance of getting a normal child.
