Albinism also known as vitiligo is a genetic disorder connected

with shortage of melamine, pigment of the skin, hair and irises.

We distinguish vitiligo which covers the whole body and local albinism, which is manifested by vitiligo stains.

Albinism may be observed in all race and ethnic groups around the world.

In the United States about 1 in 18 000 to 20 000 people suffers from one type of albinism.

The most common symptoms are: ♦ skin discoloration, ♦ myopia, ♦ nystagmus, ♦ discoloured hair, ♦ pale eyebrows and eyelashes, ♦ eye colour from very light blue to brown, red - may change with age.

Albinism may include changes of skin, eyes or mental state,

severity of which is connected with genetic background of the disease (which gene is damaged).

The disease is a common for women as for men.

Test covers the analysis of 23469 genetic changes (SNP) in 52 genes:
