Albinism

The condition of albinism is well documented in hoomans, though the condition itself remains rare. It is one of the few conditions that the Childcare Facilities doesn't immediately try to get rid of if detected.

Transmission & Cause

The cause of albinism is a genetic deficiency that determines pigmentation. It is transferred congenitally and is more likely to occur through asexual reproduction, especially from a Hooman who already has albinism.

Symptoms & Treatment

Those with Albinism are born with the condition, and it persists throughout their life.
Symptoms of Albinism include:

• Vision problems.
• Light sensitivity.
• Very pale skin and hair.
• Pink/Red eyes
• Patches of missing skin pigment.
• Immune issues.
• Neurological issues.

There is no treatment for Albinism.

Prognosis

An Albino hooman can live a relatively normal life, providing that they avoid the sun and bright lights. Eyesight can be aided with specialised lenses in their mask.

Cultural Reception

Despite the medical issues that may occur as a result of Albinism, most Hoomans find the physical appearance of albino Hoomans very attractive.
