Several genes provide instructions for making the proteins involved in the production of melanin, and albinism (complete lack of melanin) is caused by a mutation in one of these genes. Different types of albinism can occur, based mainly on which gene mutation caused the disorder.
Interesting! Is the complete lack of melanin a genetic anomaly, that may occur randomly?
