A member asked:
What are the chances of being born an albino?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Small.: Albinism is a rare condition found in less than 5 people per 100, 000 in the United States and europe. So, if you lived in a city of 1 million people, you would find only about 50 people there who could be albino.
