Solution
Albinism occurs when our body is unable to produce or distribute melanin, a natural substance that gives color to hair, skin and iris of the eye. The most severe form of albinism is called oculocutaneous albinism. People with this type of albinism have white or pink hair, skin, and iris color, as well as vision problems.
