A member asked:
Could albinos(both husband and wife) have a normal skin colored child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to happen: Since the primary forms of albinism are derived from a pair of recessive genes, the likelihood of two affected parents having an unaffected offspring is close to zero. Among the albino population there is a very rare form that represents single gene expression ( with a normal 2nd gene) and if one or more parents carried that form it might.
