Abstract:

Albinism results from a deficiency of the protein responsible for melanin production in melanocytes. Albinos are at an increased risk of dermatoses and malignancies. Primary carcinosarcoma of the skin is an exceedingly rare biphasic tumor composed of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements with an unclear histogenesis. To our knowledge, this has not been reported in an African albino. Here, we report the index case of this rare tumor in an albino of African descent.

Abstract:

The phenomena of colour aberration (albinism, leucism, piebaldism, melanism, hypomelanism, and blue-eyed colour morph) is reported in various mammalian species throughout the world including India. A total of 239 such instances in Indian mammals was tabulated in this study along with maps showing locations of the records. The records from 1886 to 2017 (till July) were gathered from published scientific literature, magazines, and images uploaded on various websites. The records were reviewed along with their order-wise and family-wise representation and were analyzed. Appropriate identification

A young male albino bat was captured in a culvert under the BR 364 highway, located within an anthropogenic area in the district of Caiçara, municipality of Porto Velho, in the northern Brazilian state of Rondônia.

We noted the further development of eggs, but no albino tadpoles nor metamorphs were found later during the season.

It describes the different types of ocular albinism, focusing on clinical features such as photophobia, nystagmus, and reduced visual acuity. Two real-life cases are presented to illustrate the condition's impact on patients' lives and the importance of accurate diagnosis. A comparison is also made between the manifestations of ocular albinism in humans and animal models, highlighting biological and genetic differences. Diagnostic

Ocular albinism has X-linked recessive inheritance, with a prevalence that varies from 1/40000 to 1/1000000, and is caused by mutations in the GPR143 and CACNA1F genes. Oculocutaneous albinism has autosomal recessive inheritance, with an overall prevalence of 1/17000, and is caused by mutations in the TYR, OCA2, TYRP1, SLC45A2, SLC24A5 and C10orf11 genes.

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Albinism is a condition caused by deletion of genes responsible for melanin production, resulting in the total absence of pigments. This genetic disorder is rare in nature and is known from ten Brazilian bat species, among them Molossus molossus. Here we report the first occurrence of this condition in M. molossus from northeastern Brazil. Since albinism is uncommon, it is important to report cases like this one, providing addicional data to understand albinism in bats and reinforce the importance of museum specimens as source of biological kn

Abstract:

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a relevant model for studying many diseases, including the melanocyte-related disorders. In this review of melanocyte literature, we discuss current knowledge about different forms of albinism and the potential of the zebrafish model to find new mechanisms and treatments. Melanin is produced in a process called melanogenesis. This, if altered, leads to diseases such as albinism. Albinism causes an increased risk of skin cancer. Zebrafish are used to study pigment disorders, due to their high fecundity, visible development of melanin in melanophores (melanocytes in ma

Albino phenotype is compared with its normal counterpart in terms of their morphology and behavior by cursory experiments. The examined 7 albino individuals (5 of which were adults) were smaller and more slender than their normal counterparts. However, these quantitative differences were not statistically significant and should be treated with caution due to the low sample size. Their abilities to detect both white light and UV light or UV-excited fluorescence were not significantly undermined, a

Fair-complexioned people, those with albinism and people with eversion of the lip are all subject to actinic cheilitis.

South Africans with albinism are among the most marginalised and vulnerable citizens yet very little attention is paid to protecting them from human rights violations. There have been several calls by people with albinism in South Africa to be classified as disabled. The question of whether albinism is classified as a disability or not is a controversial legal one, which does not always have a straightforward answer. A literature search indicates that in South Africa no comprehensive and analytical study has been carried out on the subject of albinism and disability, whereas this has already b

Albinism is a group of rare genetic disorders that are caused by the absence or reduction of melanin biosynthesis in the body. This condition can cause both neuropsychiatric and social problems, so this literature review evaluated the psychosocial implications of this condition in terms of everyday life experiences, emotional state, self-perception, and quality of life. Most studies on albinism have been conducted in Africa, assessing the significant impact of the disease on quality of life, emotional state and psychiatric comorbidities.

Children’s literature is a useful resource for transforming society for the better. In this study, I pay attention to Stephen Alumenda’s ideological commitment to disadvantaged children. I undertake a literary analysis of his works that focus on marginalised children in order to establish how he puts forward a proposal for a new society. The study examines how Alumenda’s children’s stories address disability and albinism. It critiques Alumenda’s approach, while appreciating his commitment to marginalised individuals and groups.
