Overview

Albinism does not usually affect lifespan. Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome can, however, shorten lifespan due to lung disease or bleeding problems. People with albinism may be limited in their activities because they can't tolerate the sun. Decreased vision, blindness and cancer are a few of the complications associated with albinism.
