HERE IS UR ANSWER

_____________________

  • A defect in one of several genes that produce or distribute melanin causes albinism.
  • The defect may result in the absence of melanin production, or a reduced amount of melanin production.
  • The defective gene passes down from both parents to the child and leads to albinism.
  • In all types of OCA and some types of OA, albinism is passed on in an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
  • This means a child has to get 2 copies of the gene that causes albinism (1 from each parent) to have the condition
