No, albinism is a genetic mutation, not a generation-type of mutation, that also means a non-albino couple can have the chance of giving birth to an albino baby, it's a really random and rare mutation.
Very sure that it is insertion, because there are three chromosome 18s instead of two.
Most commonly is caused by a mutation in one of three types of collagen genes - COL2A1, COL11A1, COL11A2 and is a dominantly inherited disease. A recessive type has also beed described with a mutation in the COL9A1 gene.
One type of dwarfism that is a point mutation is achondroplasia.
Deletion Mutation causes DiGeorges Syndrome.
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a genetic mutation. The mutation occurs on chromosome 15 and affects the gene that encodes a protein called fibrillin-1. Over 100 mutations have been described, all of which impair the function of fibrillin-1. The precise reasons for the mutations are unknown. How the mutation manifests as the Marfan syndrome is also uncertain. There is mounting evidence that the fibrillin-1 defect allows for unabated activity of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which causes the clinical manifestations of the syndrome (eg, hyperextensible joints, arachnodactyly, dislocation of the lens, aortic aneurysm). Because the condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, a parent with Marfan syndrome has a 50% chance of passing the defective gene on to his/her offspring. Some diseases are also associated with features that resemble Marfan syndrome. For example, multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type III is associated with what's been called a marfanoid habitus -- patients commonly have the elongated axial bones and hyperextensible joints seen in true Marfan syndrome. MEN-III is caused by a mutation in the RET gene on chromosome 10. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
An extra copy of Chromosome 18
Down's syndrome is caused by trisomy of the 21st chromosome. This is mostly caused when the chromosome pair fails to separate properly (nondisjunction).

Since the traits for hemophilia are carried on the X chromosome and not the Y, it is more probable for females to have a chromosome with the mutation. Since the mutation is considered recessive and males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to portray the phenotype for hemophilia than their female counterparts.
Unknown at this time.
The mutation that causes Autism is a rare genetic mutation. There are three different genes that are linked to the cause of different disorders on the Autism Spectrum.
Met a family in a hospital waiting room with a family member with this disorder. I know very little:[ 1] Marfan syndrome is more commonly noted among a small subgroup of a certain type of exceptionally tall individuals.[2] It can "run in the family" so if it's in your family AND you are also exceptionally tall then you probably want to get yourself checked over by a special doctor that has had extra training about how to screen for Marfan syndrome as well as having had special training which focused on the latest research & additional knowledge about the specific way Marfan's syndrone affects people's body functions if they have it; [3] it is prudent to ask your own family doctor about Marfans syndrome first additionally then asking them about their own personal experience treating or diagnosing patients with this specific syndrome. (Some doctors may not be familiar with Marfans or only vaguely aware of what it is but unable to really provide specialized evaluation or treatment for it.) Best wishes.
