Fashion models with albinism are popular, but many people with the condition face exclusion, health problems, and savage attacks.

As climate change worsens, people with albinism, particularly women, face heightened health risks from increased UV radiation, compounded by deep-rooted stigma and discrimination that impacts their ...

If similar processes occur in humans, the research could eventually help explain complications associated with albinism, including impaired vision and involuntary eye movement. We're interested in ...

A new review details how transparent, genetically similar zebrafish enable real-time study of melanogenesis and human ...

Oculocutaneous albinism type 1 (OCA1) is characterized by lack of melanin pigment due to mutations in the tyrosinasegene. Lack of ocular pigment results in retinal developmental anomalies and profound ...

The world of sports has long been celebrated as a place where talent, perseverance, and determination take centre stage, transcending boundaries of race, ethnicity, and background. However, the ...

The findings cannot yet be assumed to apply directly to people. Cooper said researchers will need to determine where, when and why the altered gene activity occurs, then look for similar effects in ...

The findings suggest OCA2 may play a wider role in development beyond helping produce melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair and eyes. If similar processes occur in humans, the ...
