Ten people in the family suffered from the same disease, and therefore broke the Guinness World Reco

In our neighboring countries, there is such an optimistic albinism family. A family of ten people suffer from albinism. They did not inferiority for their own uniqueness. Instead, they thought that this disease was "gift from God" and Application has broken the Guinness world record of the world's largest albinic family.

(A group of 7 family members, Tuyuan China Daily)

Today, it is the International Belief Disease Day on June 13. Let's follow Director Li Wei's explanation to understand this "a bit special" disease.

How does albinism come from?

Everbone disease is a rare genetic disease with pigment metabolism disorders. In my country, about 1 of about one of the 18,000 people is sick.

Director Li Wei mentioned that the occurrence of albinism may be mainly related to problems in the process of pigmentation, such as mutations in certain genes controlled by pigmentation, and dysfunction of melanocytes in pigment cells.

In addition, the acquired factors such as huge pressure can also affect pigmentation, and the "one night white head" in the story "White Mao Girl" appears.

What are the typical symptoms of albinism?

Due to the lack of pigmentation, the skin, hair, and even the iris in the eyes may be obviously shallow in ordinary people.

The pigment has a protective effect on the human body, with fewer pigments, and the external light can easily damage the skin of the human skin, and it can be burned in the eyes. Therefore, patients with albinism are often accompanied by skin sensitivity. And the symptoms of light.

Not only that, because the eyeballs of albinism often have unconscious left and right swaying (medically called horizontal tremor), patients often have low vision, and most patients may have less than 0.1.

According to accumulated parts, albinism can be divided into two types: eyelid albinism, eye albneum disease.

In addition, there is also a type of composite albinism that may affect multiple organs and systems, and there are multiple subtypes, and some are accompanied by bleeding tendencies; some can cause pulmonary fibrosis, myocardial hypertrophy, and intestinal inflammation; some There can be immune defects and prone to repeated infection; some can cause dysfunctional failure and even fatal.

How high is the genetic probability of albinism?

As mentioned above, albinism is a hereditary disease. So, if you have albinism, will the whole family get sick like an Indian family in the head?

In fact, the genetic method of albinism is mainly the hidden genetic inheritance and X chain hidden inheritance.

According to the recessive inheritance of autonomous chromosomes, the couple carries pathogenic chromosomes at the same time, and the probability of a child with an albinoma is 25%.

According to X chain hidden inheritance, if the mother carrys a pathogenic chromosomal and gives birth to a boy, it will have a probability of 50%of the disease; if there is a girl, it is just like the mother, only carried, no disease.

The Indian families mentioned at the beginning, both parents are patients with albinism, so their children have a higher probability of illness.

Can albinoma be cured?

Because albinism is a genetic disease, if you want to cure, you can only trace the roots, and the treatment methods for genes and stem cells are still in the animal test stage. Therefore, it is difficult to cure the albinism.

However, the impact of albinism on life is usually relatively small. However, light sensitivity and low vision will have a certain impact on the quality of life of patients, so most of them can be treated with symptomatic treatment.

Skin sensitivity: It can avoid skin damage by reducing the daytime out of the day and doing sunscreen.

If the skin has pain and inflammation, you can use some ointment to help relieve the symptoms. You can also conduct regular skin examinations to be alert to the occurrence of skin tumors.

Low vision: At a certain age, ophthalmology surgery can be performed to alleviate the situation of shaking from the left and right of the eyeballs, and you can watch as eye -catching as much as possible to achieve the effect of improving your vision.

For patients with vision and vision changes, they can also be corrected by wearing glasses.
