What are the statistics on albinism?

In: Statistics [Edit categories]

Answer:

The occurrence of ocular albinism (the forms that only manifest as reduced eye pigment) varies among the two genetic types.

For type I, it is about one person in 17000 in the US. For type II, the occurrence is higher among those of African descent: Causasians are 1 in 36000, but for African-Americans 1 in 10000.

Internationally, the frequency in Africa is between 1 in 5000 and 1 in 2000, depending on the region. In Puerto Rico, the frequency of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (an often fatal condition that includes eye albinism) is as high as 1 in 2700.
