There are two types of albinism that can be found in a human. The primary type is oculocutaneous albinism, which is what most people think of when they think of an albino. It can exist in various levels of lack of pigment, from a complete lack of any pigment to a varying degree of that lack. It really isn't 'part' albino, but it is not a partial situation.
