    This study introduces a diagnostic protocol for classifying albinism and detecting heterozygotes, addressing challenges posed by varied symptom expression in albinism patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Albinism diagnosis is complex due to variable symptom manifestation.
    • Over one hundred albinos and their heterozygote family members were studied.
    • A comprehensive approach combining multiple disciplines was employed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a diagnostic protocol for albinism classification.
    • To facilitate the detection of heterozygotes in albinism families.
    • To address the challenges of differential diagnosis in albinism.

    Main Methods:

    • Combined ophthalmological, genetic, clinical, biochemical, ultrastructural, and electro-physiological assessments.
    • Examination of over one hundred individuals with albinism.

    • The protocol aids in classifying albinism types.
    • The protocol assists in identifying heterozygote carriers.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed protocol effectively addresses the diagnostic challenges of albinism.
    • Accurate classification and heterozygote detection are crucial for albinism management.
    • Combination of diverse testing methods is essential for reliable albinism diagnosis.
