Are there carriers for albinism?

Yes. If either parent is a carrier of the gene that causes albinism then their child becomes a carrier as well. It is only when both parents have the gene for albinism that the child is born with this disorder.


Is albinism heterozygous or homozygous?

genetically albinism is an autosomal recessive gene which in fact gives the child a 25% chance of inheriting the gene if both parents are carriers

Can two parents with albinism have an unaffected child?

Yes, Albinism is a recessive trait. You may be carriers of it but it doesn't necessarily mean that your child will have it. Your parents could have been carriers of it but not had it. The albinism just happened to be mixes into your genes.


Can you speard albimism by toucking someone if you have it?

No.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. All alterations, however, lead to changes in melanin production in the body.The chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of an organism with albinism and one without albinism is low. However, because organisms can be carriers of genes for albinism without exhibiting any traits, albinistic offspring can be produced by two non-albinistic parents. Albinism usually occurs with equal frequency in both genders. An exception to this is ocular albinism, which it is passed on to offspring through X-linked inheritance. Thus, ocular albinism occurs more frequently in males as they have a single X and Y chromosome, unlike females, whose genetics are characterized by two X chromosomes.There are two different forms of albinism; a partial lack of the melanin is known as hypomelanism, or hypomelanosis and the total absence of melanin is known as amelanism or amelanosis.(Source wikipedia)


Will a Samsung c300 work in US?

Samsung C300 supports carriers with 900/1800 frequency, while the carriers in the US works on 850/1900 frequency. Since it's not compatible, the Samsung C300 would not work in the US.
