Albinism
is a rare, non-contagious, genetically inherited condition occurring in
both genders regardless of ethnicity, in all countries of the world.
BOTH the father and mother must carry the gene for it to be passed on
even if they do not have albinism themselves.
Marie Claire Magazine http://www.marieclaire.com/world-reports/news/black-white-skin
The condition results in a lack of pigmentation in the hair, skin and
eyes, causing vulnerability to sun exposure and bright light. Almost all
people with albinism are visually impaired, with the majority being
classified as “legally blind”. While numbers vary, in North America and
Europe it is estimated that 1 in every 20,000 people have some form of
albinism.
In Africa albinos have been facing persecution and discrimination whiles
some other African state also see nothing wrong with people living with
albinism. In some African Culture and tradition albinism is a sign of
bad luck in the family and as a result they are ostracized from the
family to avoid being ridiculed by the other members of their
community.Among the Mandinke people of Mali a child born with albinism
is an ill-omen and a shame to the family.
It is even seen as a curse and that child is not allowed to come anywhere near their own family and is in the view of this that is why Malian renowned singer dubbed "the Man with the Golden Voice and inventor of Afro-pop" music Salif Keita was ostracized from his family despite being born of royal blood as a direct descendant of the founder of the Malian State, Sundiata Keita.

In Ghana,albinos are called "Ofiri Djato" (fair person) which is quite
different from how they call a Caucasian/white person as "obroni."
Albinos in Ghana don`t face any persecution at all. There are some how
are even very influential in the national affairs. A celebrated legal
luminary and the long time president of Ghana Boxing Association
(GBA),Moses Foh-Amoaning is a well-known albino who easily mingles with
people in Ghana without any discrimination.

Among the Akans in Ghana albino is just like any other Akan with
different skin i.e black person in white skin. As young people there was
this mystery story about albinos that they do not die but just get
translated out of this world. It is also believed that the great Okomfo
Anokye, the priest that conjured the Golden Stool for the Ashanti
kingdom and is also a co-founder of Ashanti kingdom was an albino
(Ofiri). Albinism in Akan culture is well understood that there is even a
great deity of worship in one Akan community (i.e the Brongs) that
bears the name " Kwaku Firi shrine" at Anwoase (Kwaku the Albino).
It is therefore wrong for the international community and some foreign
media to treat Africa as if it is a continent that is barbaric and they
just take joy in persecuting and discriminating against people living
with albinism. One can only do a meaningful analysis of the problem that
albinos are facing from the get rich mentalities of the youths of today
in Africa who via what they see on the media are bent on using any
means to get rich quicker. It is this "get rich or die trying" mentality
that has also make the albinos become an endangered species in Africa
as some "juju/medicine men" claims albinos blood and body-parts are very
potent for rituals and can bring one instant wealth and luck.

Now before I get into types of albinism and issues of albinos in Africa,
let us ponder if albinos are the the species of homo sapiens that
Caucasians originated from?
Albinos--The Origin of the Caucasian Race?
As
new information comes down the pike, it is necessary to rethink
theories that were once in place. The origin and labeling of the
“so called” Caucasian, Negroid, and Mongoloid Races by 19th
Century scientists, started racial groupings based on skin
color by naturalists and anthropologists like Johann F. Blumenbach,
JA Gobineau and HS Chamberlain. These men also equated skin
color to psychological value and importance to race.
Blumenbach named whites after the Caucasus Mountains because he
thought the purest white people originated there. He didn't
seem to realize the following:
Russia, Chechens, Armenians, and other Southern Russians are
considered to have Black Negro origins and Caucasus Mountains
people are classified as "black" and are discriminated against.
Blacks have lived in Southern Russia since prehistoric times and
have occupied the Black Sea Region since the time of
Senwosret/Sesostris
(2000 BC) when Africans dominated the region. (SEE 'HERODOTUS' ON
THE COLCHIANS).

FROM AFRICA – NOT TO AFRICA!
Today The
American Anthropological Association declares there is no such
thing as race which is merely a “social construct.” If that is
the new scientific principle, then….There are plenty of
scientific facts to back up this principle. According to The
South African Institute for Medical Research in review – Journal
of South African Science, THE HIGH FREQUENCY OF ALBINISM IN
AFRICA provides more clues to early African history.
The Department of Human Genetics at the SAIMR is currently involved with numerous research projects, most related to human genetic disorders and population origins--one of these, ‘Albinism in African peoples’ having received particular attention because it offers new insights into the historical movement of peoples in sub-Saharan Africa.

The albinism syndrome shows parallels with sickle cell anemia. The carrier of the sickle cell mutation is at an advantage in regions where malaria is, which includes large areas of Africa.

pygmies. Albinism is a genetic disorder characterized by a lack of the
pigment melanin, which gives colour to the skin, hair and eyes. Those
affected are known as albinos. Photographed in the south-western region
of the Central African Republic.redit:
The new scientific genetic
information derived from the Human Genome Project, an
international effort to decode the information embedded in the
human genome, confirmed to the world by scientists in the East
Room of the White House (June, 2000). We all evolved in the last
100,000 years from the same small number of tribes that migrated
out of Africa and colonized the world". "All human beings are
99.99% the same at the DNA level and the remaining 0.1% genetic
variation that exist seldom segregate in a manner that confirms to
the racial boundaries constructed by social political means.”
Many years before the Human
Genome's Project announcement of its historical DNA findings on so
called "race" (in June of 2000), historians have revealed that
human beings, during the primitive era in ancient/antiquity Africa
- The Origin of Humankind/Humanity states that due to the lack of
knowledge about inbreeding (between closely related parents) they
did not understand why their off spring were born with "white
skin." Scientists say "white skin" is a form of Albinism (a
genetic defected offspring -- lacking melanin).
Cystic Fibrosis was thought to
be a disease that affects mostly Europeans, but there are studies
that now confirm that the most likely origin of the mutation is
the African Continent.
The CF studies also tie-in
with population migration investigations. Since the common African
mutation has also been found in Zambia and Cameroun, it too
supports the Bantu Expansion Hypothesis. It is worth noting that
the mutation has also been found in African-Americans, in Saudi
Arabia and in Greece on the same chromosome background (haplotype),
suggesting a single origin. The most likely origin of the mutation
is indeed the African Continent.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) was
first described in Europe in the late 1930s. It was later shown to
be surprisingly common with, on average, one in 20 individuals of
European origin carrying a CF mutation. It was widely believed to
be absent or very rare in Black Africans and was taught as such to
generations of medical students. Only a handful of cases were
described in African Blacks in a period of over thirty years,
although it was well documented among African-Americans. CF was
originally thought to be present in the latter because of
admixture with individuals of European descent.

Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a rare, genetically inherited
condition passed on by both parents to their offspring, resulting
in a significant reduction in or absence of pigmentation in the
hair, skin, and eyes at birth. Individuals with albinism are very
fair-skinned and fair-haired, with (most often) blue eyes that can
take on tones of purple or red in bright lighting.
But due to
such lack of knowledge as to why their "white skinned" off springs
came about, African mothers and fathers became more and more
fearful and suspicions and began to separate their growing number
of "white skinned" off springs away from the "black skinned"
(pigmented) population.
Eventually most of the
"white skinned" off springs of "African" mothers and fathers
formed several groups and began to migrate northward through Egypt
to another area of Africa which is now called Europe, seeking a
more hospitable living environment and to escape the intensity of
the equatorial hot climate of the great river valleys and great
lakes region of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa which was
then and still is South of what is now called Egypt.
The "albino" group moved up
in the mountainous area during the Ice Age or Glaciations period
that lasted thousands of years further isolating themselves from
their original parent population in Africa. And by being in such
isolated living condition for such a prolonged period they also
interbred (within the existing parent groups) thereby creating
additional "albino" offspring from "albino" mothers and fathers
who were then and still are direct descendents of African mothers
and fathers.
A mutation results in a change of the DNA
sequence within a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in
the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental
type. There is blonde hair among the black Australian
aborigines. That is an example of a mutation. Albinism
is a good example of a mutation. Other examples of mutations
are blondism or whiteness among monkeys, apes, and chimpanzees.
Biblical Evidence
of White Skin
There are many cases of individuals
turning white in Jewish biblical history. When God wanted to
show Moses a miracle, he turned his hand "white as snow;" then God
turned his hand back again to its original color of black.
In ancient Israel when a man had a white spot on his skin or white
or yellow hair, or white skin somewhat reddish, he was pronounced
unclean. All people who were victims of this shameful
disease were isolated outside of the camp or city and segregated.
Some theories equate Albinos with the origin of the Caucasian Race. This website has many validations for the origin of the Negroid Race, but what about the Caucasian Race? Certainly Frances Cress Welsing hit the nail on the head with her book, The Isis Papers (1991).
The White Race has the genetic inability
and absence of melanin to produce the different skin
pigments seen throughout the world. That absence of skin pigment
creates the inability to produce colors. As a result, uncolored
or white skin is produced. White Race genes are at a recessive
global juncture. Recessive genes delineate body characteristics
that are masked or not expressed when a contrasting dominant black
or brown gene or trait is present. The black/brown genes create
people who have curly hair and whose skin is easily tanned.
As the recessive gene disappears, anthropologists are rushing to reclassify the world's Black and Brown Races. Through "Caucasian racial engineering" some Brown Races have become hypothetically "White." It has increased the White Race totals with a lopsided apportionment numbering system. The system has been designed to expand and extend White Race counts, which only amount to 8 percent worldwide (United Nations Population Division, 1+).
In “Echoes of the Old Darkland” by Charles
Finch III, MD by a doctor of medicine (Yale) the following is
quoted: “We propose that the ... population that survived the
last glaciations in southwestern Eurasia was largely a group of
albinoids who were better adapted to the ecology than their darker
relatives who had originally colonized the area. These latter
were gradually replaced by albinoids, though small groups of
African aboriginal types long persisted on the North Atlantic
seaboard because of the availability of Vitamin-D-rich salt-water
fish. This “goodness-of-fit” of the albinoids in this northern
environment was due to the more efficient Vitamin D production and
utilization in the whitened skin in these sunlight-deficient
latitudes and better cold resistance.
The Ice Age had the practical effect of isolating this marginal group from other populations for a prolonged period, promoting a consanguinity that would have allowed the recessive albinoid genes to express and propagate themselves. Creation of a new race via de-pigmentation is consistent with the tendency in nature of new species and subspecies to form out of marginal groups that have become isolated from their “parent” populations and subjected more or less abruptly to extreme environmental conditions, which generate intense selection pressure.” (Op. cit. p. 35) Albinoid mutation seems as good a speculation since the fossil data and genetic data both seem to rule in favor of a common, Black African ancestry for all mankind.

People with
Natural Blonde Hair are Disappearing and will be Extinct in 200
Years.
New research suggests that people with
blonde hair will be completely extinct in 200 years. Blonde hair
occurs only in people from northern Europe. The blonde gene that
causes blonde hair color must be on both sides of the family, and
according to the World Health Organization, there is now too few
people who carry it.
Professor Jonathan Rees from Edinburgh
University is leading a two-year study into the genetics of
blondes. Scientists say blondes will survive longest in
Scandinavia where they are most concentrated, and they predict the
last one alive will be from Finland.
Globally, the White Race risks "genetic color elimination." Caucasians /8 per centers are rapidly presenting the world with a conjured-up system of so-called "statistical numbers of non-truth" as a way to implant new suppositions and beliefs. The non-truth firepower has the ability to deliver psyche-up, illusory gunfire amounting to numerical warheads on the target of more Caucasian deceit. The duplicity will end up fabricating a sort of actuality--statistical ballistic weaponry warfare to MAXIMIZE the dwindling White Race group numbers.
The original Indo-Europeans referred to, as Aryans were nomads who herded animals in the steppes north of the Black Sea, in what is now the Ukraine. Between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, the Aryans migrated into Europe on horseback and conquered a series of cultures. The Encyclopedia Britannica concurs with British historians. When trying to trace pre-historic man to Europeans, it was found that Indo-Iranian languages make up a major branch of the Indo-European family of languages (Bower, 120+).
The Sinhalese Language is an Indo-European
language of the Indo-Aryan family. The earliest surviving
specimens of the language are brief inscriptions on rocks in
Brahmi Letters from 200 BC. The most considerable amount of dated
Aryan language dates to about AD 1000 (Encyclopedia Britannica,
567).
Linguistics link the Iranian language to African languages. Iranian languages include the Arabic language. Arabic belongs to the Semitic language group. Semitic includes Ethiopic and Hebrew--people who lived in one of Black Africa's greatest civilizations. The implication being made is the following: Caucasians cannot validate their rudiment White civilization. It has been proven that civilization started in the great river valleys of Africa in the Fertile Crescent. The human race was born in Africa, and it is only logical that the evolution of White men started in Africa.

He died at the ripe old age of 40 due to skin cancer, probably related to his albinism. He outlived all of his 22 children, none of whom were albino, but lived to see his many grandchildren - a rarity for gorillas
The Encyclopedia Britannia outlines the lack of or absence of historical sources to trace the process of Swedish Expansion and the Viking Era around AD 400. The same is true for Denmark. It is written--The first trustworthy written evidence of a kingdom of Denmark belongs to the early Viking Period. Roman knowledge of this country was fragmentary and unreliable. The same is said for the other Scandinavian countries.
Currently, the Smithsonian Museum is inviting people to examine the Atlantic Saga of the well-known culture of the Scandinavian Viking Age (AD750-1050) as they discover America. They landed in Newfoundland, Canada exactly 1,000 years ago. It is being hailed as a "discovery." An endnote has been added that there is generous support from the Nordic Council and Ministers of Volvo.
The Caucasoid/8 per centers' numerical
deficiency has created a sort of numerical abundance because White
groups now have psychologically increased their numbers with the
many different White classifications of: German White Race,
English White Race, French White Race, and Russian White Race.
This justifiably amounts to many White Races even though
theoretically there has been a three-race theory staunchly in
place since the 19th Century.
The same psychological numerology works to
minimize black/brown groups and forms the White "labeled minority
classifications" geneticists refer to when "feeling their oats on
the genetic highway to a White majority." Dividing black/brown
people into groups and referring to the groups as "non-white" or
"people of color," presents a purely natural tendency to think of
black/brown people as lesser because of the fewest number of
numerical classifications. Therefore, Black and Brown people have
become minorities in the mastermind scheme when the statistical
numbers of abundant craftiness are presented globally.
From sea-to-shining-sea. History shows that discrimination in this country occurs in all races that are not considered Caucasian. Asians, for example, have experienced a long history of discrimination even though the Asian Race is coined as the "Prototype Minority" worthy enough to grace the White American dominion. In 1854 the California Supreme Court ruled that Chinese citizens were not permitted to testify against Whites. In 1882 the Chinese Exclusion Act banned all immigration from China.
In 1913, California declared Asians ineligible for citizenship and prohibited property ownership. In 1924 the National Origins Act excluded most Asians from migrating to the US. With the outbreak of World War II one hundred and ten thousand (110,000) Japanese Americans were relocated to internment camps. It was only in 1952 that Asians born outside the US were permitted to become citizens--but now have been termed the “ideal minority.” Today most Blacks and Latinos continue to be subjected to extreme economic and social discrimination; whereas, most Asian Americans are not. Asian Americans have been labeled the "ideal minority."
King James invented "discrimination of the divine" when he and his team of 47 European interpreters translated the King James Version of The Holy Bible. Purity, virtue, and goodness spew from every pictorial page of White European Biblical characters. The Bible reveals a blue-eyed White Jesus hanging on a cross, a golden-haired White Moses showing the "Tablets of Law to the People," and praying at Mt. Sinai upon every turn of a page.
I am King James, and I proclaim "Ham, the
youngest son of Noah, to be the father of the Black Race."
Ham is the father of the Black Race
because he was cursed and "condemned to Hell" states King James
and his team of European Interpreters. In Gen. 9:18-29 Ham is the
recipient of a curse--"Let Canaan be cursed."
Hey, that means Canaanites were Black.
What do ya know!!! Berber describes the indigenous Caucasoid
people of Northern Africa in the scholarly White dictionary and
encyclopedia, but Berber is defined as people who speak Hammitic/Semitic
Languages. Hey, does that mean Berbers were Black? The Cushite
(Ethiopian) and ancient Egyptian also spoke Semitic Languages.
Ham--the Originator of the Black Race "the accursed" and all of his descendants will be damned. Eurocentric church officials developed a mind-set of "heathen Blacks" to devise and formulate deceptive historical attitudes and viewpoints.
The Aryan Nation believes its group does the on-going work of
Jesus the Christ in re-gathering His people, calling His people to a
state for their nation to ring in His Kingdom. The Aryan Nation
believes that Adam, man of Genesis, is the placing of the White
Race upon this Earth. Not all races descend from Adam. Adam is
the father of the White Race only. (Adam in the original Hebrew
language is translated: "to show blood in the face; turn rosy."
Genesis 5:1).
The Book of Enoch
Hamitic/Ethiopic Authorship: The Book of Enoch--which is
considered to be the earliest biblical record of antiquity and the
earliest book of Hamitic authorship is widely quoted throughout
the King James Version of the Bible. The Book of Enoch was found
among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the caves of the Qumran. Enoch was
Noah’s grandfather and Methuselah’s father. Methuselah was the
oldest man in the Bible living to be 969.
After reading the Book of Enoch, it is
evident that the entire Creation of Heaven and Earth depicted by
King James and his translators has not been taught in America’s
churches. Why? Did King James and his translators use
manipulatives to gain control and purposely hide Hamitic/Ethiopic
authorship? If this book was written before the book of Genesis,
and is Hamitic--aren’t we back-to-Black? Webster’s Warped
Dictionary verifies that Ham was the Originator of the Black
Race. (Brown, Ronald K. BOOK OF ENOCH, San Antonio, Texas 78210).

According to the Enoch--one of the Lost Books of the Bible, there were a Race of Angels numbering 200 who were sent to Earth to watch over mankind. The “Watchers” looked upon the women of the Earth and found them fair and pleasing to the eye. The women gave birth to what is known as (Nephilims) Giants of the Earth.

GOD Promises to Dwell with the Saints
The King James Version of the Bible starts
with Genesis and the creation of Heaven and Earth. In Genesis
4:15 God orders Cain out of the Garden of Eden. Cain goes out
from the presence of the LORD, and dwells in the land of Nod, on
the East of Eden. There he knew his wife and conceived. “The
Land of Nod” appears right there in the Fourth Chapter of
Genesis. If Adam and Eve were the first two people on earth,
what was the Land of Nod? The word “Genesis” is be-rasheet
in Hebrew, an African/Edenic language that Western philologists in
the 18th Century classified as part of the family of languages.
Be-rasheet means “in the beginning” in a time when God
created all things. (African Heritage Bible, 1).
Leprosy among the Hebrews and Snow White Miriam
In 14th century B.C., plagues were endemic
through the Middle East and Egypt. The Book of Numbers tells us
that Miriam and Aaron, sister and brother to Moses, revolted
against their brother’s leadership. Miriam and Aaron spake
against Moses because he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they
said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only to Moses? Hath eh not
spoken also by us?” Their challenge to Moses angered God. As a
punishment “Miriam became leprous, white as snow” (Greenberg,
197).
The original man can be linked directly to
the "Neanderthal" and "Cro-Magnon" Man 10,000 years ago through
archeological measurements in size and stature to the Bushmen-Hottentot
population of South Africa. Any US or European research book or
encyclopedia show the reader a White man who is half man and half
animal. Charles Darwin (Mr. Charlie) and other evolutionists
would rather have the world believe man evolved from apes than
from a Black man.
As Europeans were busy labeling the entire Black Race as cursed and accursed, a fair-haired English physicist came up with the color spectrum in 1666 that disputes the "White European Hamitic Theory." The theory clearly denotes that if Noah and his wife were Caucasoid, it would have been impossible to produce three different races of people. The Keys to the Colors Theory was proven by Newton over 300 years ago, but Warped Webster's Dictionary still defines Ham as the "Father of the Black Race."
Reference books will tell you the majestic
Sir Isaac Newton was credited with the discovery of the color
spectrum. The theory presents solid proof that black is the
foundation or base for all colors. Newton was the celebrated
White English physicist who took a glass prism and passed a beam
of sunlight through it. When the light passed through the prism,
it formed a rainbow he later called the color spectrum.
By mixing the three primary colors of red,
blue, and yellow together, the color black is produced. Black is
the color from which all other colors are produced and is
dominant. White, on the other hand, is the color of maximal
lightness from which no other colors can be produced and is
recessive. Just because white reflects all colors does
not mean it is possible to get all colors from white. A little every day thing like the exalted Sir
Isaac Newton's so called discovery of the color spectrum shows
more validity as it points to an African origin than the many
years of research and long drawn out scientific theories to
disparage and dismiss Black culture and history.

While scientists interpret, record, and
test their theories, all they need is a small box of Crayola
Crayons containing three crayons and a sheet of paper to prove the
Keys to the colors.
Albinos occur in all races of mankind and
in all animal groups. The albionotic condition arises from
a distinct hereditary interference with the normal function of
melanocytes. The enzyme tyrosinase is necessary for
the formation of melanin and determines the color of the
skin, hair, and eyes. Most children with albinism are born
to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic
backgrounds.
White skin is a form of albinism.
There is no difference, microscopically speaking, between the
white skin of a Caucasoid person and the skin of a person
designated as an Albino. Black people with albinism tend
to have hair of a deep bright yellow, cream-colored skin, and
green or hazel eyes. The social problems of Blacks are compounded
if a child is born and is an Albino. In the Caucasian Race blonde
hair, blue eyes, and alabaster skin are considered so highly
desirable that brunettes often bleach their hair or wear colored
contacts to look like Albinos.
One of the most glorious periods of English History was that of the reign of Queen Victoria (1819-1901). The Victorians wore white wigs and powdered their skin to a chalky white probably in awe of their ancestors. Similarly, the powdered white wig worn by American colonial era illuminati reflected the wearer's ability to afford luxury items and identified him as one of the educated elite.
In Biblical times people with albinism
were banished or thrown out, and forced to live in colonies just
as people with leprosaria or Hansen's Disease were
forced to live in leper colonies and away from other people. The
Black Race believed that God was delivering judgment on a family
with albinism and that the individual with albinism is cursed or
is the embodiment of sin.
White-skinned people came into existence
thousands of years ago as the Albino mutant offspring of
black-skinned mothers and fathers in Africa. A sizable number of
these Black parents produced, rejected and then cast out of the
community their genetic defective albino offspring to live away
from the normal black skin-pigmented population. There were
colonies of albinos formed which eventually migrated northward to
Europe, to escape the intensity of the equatorial sun of the
Southern hemisphere (Welsing, 23).
During Biblical times Albinos were ostracized. The same thing is happening today when Albinism occurs in society. Albinos are ostracized by their own families--especially in Black families where the difference in skin color is more distinct. The ostracizing of Albinos during Biblical times is the only logical explanation of how the White Race came into existence. The Albino colonies produced more and more Albinos until there was an Albino Race.
The Finnish, Swedish, and Danish people are "as White as pure driven show" with blonde hair that is almost White. The two groups of people show a strong evidence they were part of the composition of the Albinic/White Race that moved northward. White European geneticists that the union of two albinos will produce children that are affected with albinism have validated it.
The parents of albinos are often consanguineous since it increases the likelihood that both will possess the same gene. The Albion tic condition creates an extreme sensitivity of eyes and skin to the sunlight.
There was a migration of the African
Albinos northward to what the world recognizes as Europe. During
Biblical times Europe was part of Africa. Europeans themselves
designated and divided Africa into the regions of the "Middle
East" and "Europe."
Skin color is determined by melanin.
The large molecule of the pigment melanin is formed in the
skin cells from a much smaller molecule called tyrosine.
Tyrosine is colorless and is present in all cells. In the
skin cells of most human beings there is at least one gene whose
job is to manufacture tyrosine.
If the gene is of a type that can form considerable quantities of tyrosinase, the skin cell is like a well-staffed factory.
If the gene is of a type that can form considerable quantities of tyrosinase, the skin cell is like a well-staffed factory.
Considerable quantities of melanin
are formed, and the person possessing that gene has dark-brown
skin, black hair, and dark-brown eyes. If the gene were a type
that manufactured only a small amount of tyrosinase, the
reverse would be true. Little melanin would be formed, and
the person would have fair skin, light hair, and light eyes.
An Albino's genes do not form
tyrosinase at all. No tyrosinase occurs in their cells
and no melanin can be formed. Such people have very fair
skin, white hair, and no pigment at all in their eyes. The eyes
look reddish because small blood vessels can be seen through the
transparent colorless iris of the eye (Boyd & Asimov, 72).
Classification of albinism
Traditionally,
albinism has been classified according to clinical phenotype, and the 2
main categories are oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and ocular albinism
(OA).
The albinism subtypes were reclassified in 2009. With the
availability of new molecular genetic studies, the classification of
albinism has shifted emphasis to genotype as opposed to phenotype alone.[1] Hence,
this has led to redefining existing phenotypic categories and the
addition of new subtypes based on specific genetic mutations. The
following is a brief overview of the current classification of albinism.
OCA
is characterized by the reduction or absence of melanin in the skin,
hair, and optic system (including the eyes and optic nerves). The lack
of skin pigment results in a pale skin appearance and an increased risk
of skin cancer. As shown in Table 1, OCA is divided further into several
subtypes based on the distinct genetic mutation.
Table 1. Oculocutaneous Albinism Types (Open Table in a new window)
OCA Subtypes | Gene Position | Affected Protein |
OCA 1
| 11q14-21 | Tyrosinase |
OCA 2 (tyrosinase-positive OCA, brown OCA) | 15q11-13 | P protein |
OCA 3 | 9p23 | Tyrosinase-related protein |
OA
is characterized by changes in the optic system only with no clinical
difference in skin and hair color. As shown in Table 2, two major
disorders exist in this category, ocular albinism 1 (OA 1) and autosomal
recessive ocular albinism (AROA).

OA 1 (X-linked recessive OA/Nettleshop-Falls type) | X p22.3-22.2 | The protein product of the OA 1 gene named OA 1 (and also identified as GPR143 in GenBank)[2, 3] |
AROA | Not a distinct position | Tyrosinase in some cases; P protein in some cases |
The research work below done on albinism in Africa would be of
beneficial importance to people living in Africa and overseas and are
interested in educating some African society where individuals see
albinos as potent ritual body-parts. The problem that albinos face in
Africa is not actually about their hatred for albinos but rather it is
being fueled by the so-called potency of their body-parts in rituals. So
the education should rather be on the health implications of one giving
birth to albinos.
