Albinism is a disease in which a person has a partial or complete loss of pigmentation (colouring) of the skin, eyes and hair. Genetic mutations that affect the production of a pigment called melanin. There is a cell called the melanocyte that is responsible for giving skin, hair, and eyes pigmentation.
