albinism is the deficiency of the "melanin" pigment, due to lack of producing cells or deficiency of enzymes producing the pigment.
its totally not contagious, its a congenital condition.
the people who suffer from this condition oftenare more susceptible to cancer

Albinism is not contageous. It is heriditery. It is a recessive gene. That means if both father and mother have this the child has 25% chance at the best

Albinism is definitely not contagious. The basic cause of this is the change in the metabolism we cause by eating the wrong combination of foods.

Albinism is hereditary, and is therefore a genetic condition, not a disease. It is not contagious.
The cause of albinism is that you are born without pigment cells in your skin. These pigment cells make your eyes a certain color, as well as give your skin its flesh tone and color your hair.
