The genetic condition known as albinism is more aptly known as oculocutaneous albinism due to its ocular and cutaneous manifestations. An individual with albinism is colloquially known as an “albino”. Oculocutaneous albinism is a group of rare genetic conditions of melanin biosynthesis, with a total of 7 different subtypes of the condition. The “Classic” subtype, which is type 1 oculocutaneous albinism, is due to a deficiency of the tyrosinase enzyme, which leads to decreased/absent production of melanin, leading to hypopigmentation. This mechanism is the cause of the ocular and cutaneous manifestations. Due to the hypopigmentation, individuals with albinism are at risk for particular adverse events, which can be treated with preventative measures to help reduce the risk of onset of these event.\n
