Albinism
Albinism is an inherited condition in which the body is unable to make melanin, the natural chemical needed for skin pigmentation. Children with this condition have very fair skin and hair. They need to wear sunglasses outside because albinism makes the eyes extremely light sensitive.
Since albinism has a strong genetic link, if you have albinism in your family, you may wish to consult a genetics counselor before having children.
