Albinism is a recessive, autosomal trait. So no, it is not sex-linked.
yes
genetically albinism is an autosomal recessive gene which in fact gives the child a 25% chance of inheriting the gene if both parents are carriers
An Autosomal recessive pattern is one in which certain genes of the X sex chromosome are turned off, autosomal is in reference to the X chromosome and the fact that the genes are turned off is indicated by the recessive. So in the case of Albinism the pigmentation genes in the X chromosome are turned off causing the various side effects.
autosomal dominant
albinism is common.
What are the demographics of albinism:
I can only really think of a couple off the top of my head. Cystic fibrosis and Sickle cell anemia are the only ones I know for sure. Albinism may be but I'm not 100% sure.
Ocular Albinism is a type of albinism that affects mostly vision. It commonly comes with the lack of melanin in the skin that occurs in regular albinism.
Autosomal
No, it is autosomal dominant.
Yes, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease.
Tay-sachs is autosomal.
They are autosomal because it is a trait a phenotype.
