In almost all types of albinism, both parents must carry the gene for it to be passed on, even if they do not have albinism themselves.There is no cure for the absence of melanin that is central to albinism.While numbers vary, it is estimated that in North America and Europe 1 in every 17,000 to 20,000 people have some form of albinism. The condition is much more prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, with estimates of 1 in 1,400 people being affected in Tanzania and prevalence as high as 1 in 1,000 reported for select populations in Zimbabwe and for other specific ethnic groups in Southern Africa.
