What is a result of albinism?

• A. Hypopigmentation
• B. Hyperpigmentation
• C. Erythema
• D. Telangiectasia

Answer: (A)

Melanin production is reduced or absent in albinism, leading to very light skin, hair, and eye color. This impaired pigment synthesis results in hypopigmentation, which is the defining visible outcome. Hyperpigmentation would mean darker patches, erythema is redness from skin inflammation or sun exposure, and telangiectasia are small dilated blood vessels—none of which describe albinism.
