Question: Do all children who suffer from albinism, have other disabilities?

Michael Kimwele answered on 17 Jul 2025:

No, not all children with albinism have other disabilities. Albinism is a genetic condition that primarily affects the production of melanin, leading to little or no pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. While some children with albinism may have vision problems due to the lack of pigment in the eyes, this is a direct effect of the condition and not considered a separate disability. Most children with albinism have normal intelligence and physical development, and they do not necessarily have additional disabilities unless caused by other unrelated medical conditions.
