Albinism is a group of genetic conditions with various types, and its carrier status is common within the population. Therefore, it is critically important for prospective parents who have a family history of albinism or who themselves have albinism to seek genetic counseling before planning to have children. Genetic counseling is necessary to understand and manage the risk of the condition appearing in subsequent generations. Through genetic tests, albinism carrier status in the family can be identified, the presence of risk for future children can be determined, and the likelihood of transmitting the condition to future generations can be minimized.
