Dear Edmund:

Please see the section entitled, "Genetics of Albinism" on the following web site from The National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation (NOAH):

http://www.albinism.org/publications/what_is_albinism.html

If you are interested, a wealth of other info. on albinism in general is also included in this helpful WWW resource.

I hope that this is useful for you,
