That&#8217;s why today we want to tell you 10 things you may not have known about albinism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1.It is a genetic condition<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Albinism is a genetic condition characterized by the absence or decrease of melanin or pigment in the skin, hair and eyes, producing significant alterations in vision. Depending on the type of albinism, people with albinism have very light skin, eyes and hair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2.Different types of albinism<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are many types of albinism and not all people with albinism manifest the same symptoms. Historically, two main types of albinism have been defined, called oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and ocular albinism (OA), depending on whether the decrease or absence of pigment affects the skin, hair and eyes (OCA) or mainly the eyes (OA). In turn, each of these two types can be subdivided into several, depending on which gene is affected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3.Vision problems<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">People with albinism suffer from severe visual disturbances, however the degree of affection may vary. Some suffer from the absence of the central retina of the eye, so that night or twilight vision is also reduced, photophobia, which is the rejection or repulsion to direct light, and reduced or non-existent three-dimensional vision. Their visual impairment is severe, as they usually have a visual acuity that can be less than 10%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6123 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/0021-ALBINO-BOOK@ANA-PALACIOS-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/0021-ALBINO-BOOK@ANA-PALACIOS-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/0021-ALBINO-BOOK@ANA-PALACIOS-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/0021-ALBINO-BOOK@ANA-PALACIOS-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/0021-ALBINO-BOOK@ANA-PALACIOS-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/0021-ALBINO-BOOK@ANA-PALACIOS.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Photo \u00a9 Ana Palacios\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>4.Involuntary eye movement\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nystagmus is often an important element in the diagnosis.

You can read the stories of our ambassadors: Susana Rodriguez and Adi Iglesias, Paralympic champions who made history in the last Tokyo Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>8.In Malawi there are only 2 dermatologists practicing in the entire country<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In sub-Saharan Africa, poor diagnosis and treatment, inadequate health services, inability to adequately treat skin diseases and lack of prioritization of national health systems in the field of albinism and dermatology are some of the major challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example in Malawi there are only two dermatologists and about thirty dermatology technicians for a population of almost 20 million. This explains the high incidence of skin cancer among people with albinism. According to international institutions such as FAO, 85% of Malawi&#8217;s population lives in rural areas and more than 90% of dermatological services are in urban hospitals. For these reasons,<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffcc00;\" href=\"https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/en\/training-health-professionals-improves-quality-of-life-for-people-with-albinism\/\">training of health workers in rural areas is very important to prevent skin cancer.<\/a><\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is essential to decentralize services and ensure that health workers in rural and semi-urban areas close to where people with albinism live are trained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>9.Discrimination<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Albinism is an unknown condition in many communities in sub-Saharan Africa. People with albinism<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffcc00;\" href=\"https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/en\/persecucion\/\">are discriminated against and have serious problems integrating into society.<\/a> <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Their vulnerable situation condemns them to extreme poverty, forcing them to earn a living by working outdoors, exposed for long hours to the intense tropical sun.\u00a0In many sub-Saharan African countries, people with albinism suffer discrimination and ostracism and are seen as a curse. Some cultures believe that they do not die, but disappear, or that having sex with a person with albinism cures AIDS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>10. Education and awareness<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Education and awareness-raising are essential to dispel the myths and beliefs surrounding albinism, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. It is essential that health personnel are aware of this genetic condition, but also other very important actors such as educators, since many children with albinism drop out of school at an early age because they lack the tools to be able to read the blackboard or books properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6106 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-20-at-12.59.46-1024x840.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-20-at-12.59.46-1024x840.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-20-at-12.59.46-300x246.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-20-at-12.59.46-768x630.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-20-at-12.59.46-1536x1260.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/beyondsuncare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-20-at-12.59.46.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albinism is still a very unknown genetic condition.
