Albinism

Biology:Albinism For my research project I have chosen the genetic disease albinism. There are a few reasons why I chose albinism as my topic. The number one reason would be in 8th grade when I was expelled from Toll ,they sent me to Rosemont ,and in my first period class I had a girl who was an albino, and although I have not seen her for a year ,but I am still curious as …

…for the disorder. Is there some way we can stimulate the OCA and TYR genes into correctly performing their jobs, or maybe introduce melanin directly into those suffering from this disorder. I think that once our scientists better understand the human genome and its ins and outs, the cures for genetic diseases like albinism will follow shortly after. Then maybe the girl in my 8 th grade class can finally come with us to the beach.
