Albinism is a rare group of genetic disorders that cause the skin, hair, or eyes to have little to no color; this varys in the different types of albinism. 

Different gene defects characterize the numerous types of albinism

• Oca1 is due to a defect in the tyrosinase enzyme which is an enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting steps in melanin which means. Melanin is what makes the pigment which gives your skin color,eyes,and hair coloring 

• Oca1a people with this type of albinism have a complete absence of melanin and the people who have this type of albinism tend to have white hair, very pale skin, and light eyes.

Oca1b People with OCA1b produce some melanin. They have light-colored skin, hair, and eyes. Their coloring may increase as they age.

• 
  Oca2 is less severe than OCA1. It’s due to a defect in the OCA2 gene that results in reduced melanin production. People with OCA2 are born with light coloring and skin. Their hair may be yellow, blond, or light brown. OCA2 is most common in people of African descent and Native Americans.
  
  

• 
  Oca3 is a defect in the TYRP1 gene. It usually affects people with dark skin, particularly Black South Africans. People with OCA3 have reddish-brown skin, reddish hair, and hazel or brown eyes.
  
  

• 
  Oca4 is due to a defect in the SLC45A2 protein. It results in a minimal production of melanin and commonly appears in people of East Asian descent. People with OCA4 have symptoms similar to those in people with OCA2.
