Researchers have determined the gene mutation responsible for an observable trait in bison -- albinism. A research team led by scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical ...

Medically reviewed by Susan Bard, MD Key Takeaways Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that causes white patches on the skin.Albinism is a genetic disorder where the body doesn't produce enough melanin.

Albinism is a genetic condition that affects the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. People with albinism typically have very light skin, hair, and eyes.

This work provides the first transcriptome-wide multi-tissue insights into the albinism of Wels catfish and serves as a valuable resource for further understanding the genetic mechanisms of ...

Albinism is a genetic condition that affects people of all races and backgrounds. It occurs when the body produces very little or no melanin, which is the pigment that gives colour to the skin, hair, ...

A newly identified severe congenital syndrome of deafness, blindness, albinism, and dense fragile bones can arise when two people, each of whom have a rare, specific form of deafness, have children, ...

Ocular albinism (OA) is an inherited genetic condition that primarily affects the pigments in the eyes. Ocular albinism is an inherited genetic condition that primarily affects the pigments in the ...

White Cloud, a female albino bison, lived with the National Buffalo Museum herd in Jamestown, North Dakota, until her death in 2016 at the age of 20. Researchers at Texas A&M University’s School of ...
