Albinism is a genetic condition that affects 1 in 18,000 people born in the United States every year.
According to Mayo Clinics, “Albinism 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. The mutation may result in no melanin at all or a significantly reduced amount of melanin.”
The two famous brothers,
Bera and Tsotne Ivanishvili, sons of Georgia’s richest man, and the country’s former prime minister were born with Albinism.
