Are there carriers for albinism?

Yes. If either parent is a carrier of the gene that causes albinism then their child becomes a carrier as well. It is only when both parents have the gene for albinism that the child is born with this disorder.

What is the genotype of an individual with albinism?

I think no. It's caused by a recessive gene so if a person has albinism their genotype can only be recessive, recessive ---> AA (small a small a or whatever you call it). No other genotype will mean that person has Albinism, like if it has at least one big A, that means it's just a carrier of albinism.

Is it possible for two albino parents to have a child with normal pigmentation?

There are several different types of albinism that affect several different genes. If two people with the same type of albinism reproduce, all of their children will have albinism. If two people with two different types of albinism have children, NONE of their children will have albinism. The genetics are complicated, but that's how it works.


Will your child with albinism have a child with albinism?

It is hard to know what genes will be passed on through the generations. There are several different possibilities. 1. If you have Albinism but your child does not signs of it then your child most likely carrys the gene but it is masked or not shown. This means he/she could pass it on to their children. 2. If your child has Albinism then your child has a strong chance of passing it on to their children . It is possible though for your child to pass on the gene. Their children could have Albinism or it could be masked such as in situation 1. 3. Your parents have Albinism but your nor your child show signs of it . It is entirely possible that you and your child carry the disease. To be sure if you have Albinism genetic testing is required.


Is it possible to stop albinism?

No. Albinism is in a person's genetics and you can't stop a person from having it, or change someone who already has it.
