hello drmk, let quote it from wikipedia . Albinism (from Latin albus, "white"; also called achromia, or achromatosis) is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin. Albinism is a challenge rathen than a problem . this vid clip is really inspiring and motivating .
We live in an ever-changing world and different genetic conditions are more or less favorable in different situations. If every surface on planet earth received equatorial levels of sunlight, then albinism would certainly seem to be a defect, but if conditions were to change where having any melanin at all could prove fatal, albinism would certainly seem to be an advantage.
it is a mutation or in other terms a deasise that makes ur skin pale when your born from colored parents is most common in african regions but the chances in being a albino is a 1 in 30
Albinism is a condition where there is a lack of or little pigment produced in the hair, skin, and/or eyes. All persons with albinism do NOT have the same phenotypes and the condition does appear differently in persons even inside the same family. I am the older of three siblings. The next to the youngest also has albinism like me. Our parent do not have albinism are African American, but do carry the gene. We know of another relative who has ocular albinism and it also affected her hair.
Ian Findlay,...It is only the People that have the complete form of Albinism that have pink eyes and pure white hair. And most African Americans with Albinism have yellow hair and blue or green eyes. Look it up.
@The1972CAT if it isnt then why do people even talk about it? the more ppl talk about it the more they ostracize albinos. we should just ignore ppl who talk about it, like videos like these and not react to them at all.
Katherine Smith,...The Winter Brothers ARE famous!!Just because You've never heard of them before dosen't mean that they are not famous. I have not heard of Amy Winehouse until after She had already Died. And have also never heard about Mem Nahadr (who was Born with Albinism by the way) until about 3 and a half years ago when I clicked on Her weblink(site) on the "extra websites" section of the N.O.A.H. website.
is a mutation of the DNA, very strange mutation, saying this i am not saying it's bad, in fact, mutations are in every person and it happens every day but they don't use to affect us very much, is what makes us evolve to different enviroments and get different lookings, in some cases mutation can occure fast and out of control and is when very special cases of people appear and some are considered disorders, electronics, foods, viruses even sun makes our DNA mutate, someimes good sometimes bad
Edgar is NOT a guitarist. Johnny is one of the best in the world, but Edgar plays keyboards, sax, drums and just about everything else and he's also a brilliant composer, arranger and singer, but he is NOT known as a guitarist.
Sorry if it offends you but it is the truth... it's genetically proven. I am not an African American either... I'm not even black.... I am just stating the truth.
You are right

Loved the Winter brothers.....

Uh oh everyone look out we got a badass over here
I think people should know that skin cancer isn't always caused by the sun ( depending on WHERE you get it ).
Salif Keita, famous African singer and musician from Mali
I thought it said famous people. I've never heard of any of these people. Lol.
albinism is when your body doesn't produce melonin , which is what colours your exterior like skin , hair and eyes

That's A Picture Of A Real Vampire Actually

it is an abnormality.
@The1972CAT What is Albinism ?
not trying to offend or nothin just curious but whey then do some have bad eyesights isnt it related to albinism ???
just people who have pure white hair all during life

edgar winter did not play guitar He Played Sax and Keyboard johnny his order bro played Guitar Get Your Facts Right...
Just did a ISU for Biology on albinism =D
and even the hair.. :)
Kalen Chase!

I have albinism its a lack of pigment in the body that makes you have white skin and white hairand when i ware glasses my eyes turn red
its a genetic mutation, not a curse.

@The1972CAT they have lots of problem with their eyes, so it s still a handicap.

The maker of this video can't be faulted for YOUR ignorance of the subjects.
At The First Of The Video
Edgar is NOT a guitarist. Johnny is one of the best in the world, but Edgar plays keyboards, sax, drums and just about everything else and he's also a brilliant composer, arranger and singer, but he is NOT known as a guitarist.
i think ablino people are beautiful.
Yes it is dummies (The1972CAT and all the thumb uppers)
Not many famous albinos huh? Hmmm...
