https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2024.88.30
Abstract
The article presents a clinical follow-up of a child with oculocutaneous albinism type 1A. For the first time, the type of albinism was established and concomitant diseases were identified. Oculocutaneous albinism is a disease with an autosomal recessive type of inheritance, in which, in addition to ocular albinism, there is hypopigmentation of the skin and hair.
