oculocutaneous albinism type 4 - decreased pigmentation of skin hair and eyes
Definition for oculocutaneous albinism type 4
Oculocutaneous albinism is a group of conditions that affect coloring (pigmentation) of the skin, hair, and eyes.
more
Oculocutaneous albinism is a group of conditions that affect coloring (pigmentation) of the skin, hair, and eyes. Affected individuals typically have very fair skin and white or light-colored hair. They have an increased risk of skin damage and skin cancers, including melanoma, with sun exposure. Oculocutaneous albinism also reduces pigmentation of the colored part of the eye (the iris) and the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (the retina). People with this condition usually have vision problems such as reduced sharpness; rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus); and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia).
