Albinism / Hypopigmentation / Albinos

Albinism is a hereditary disorder characterized by defects in melanin production which results in little or no pigmentation in the skin, hair, and eyes. There is no cure for albinism, but it can be managed, especially with special care for the skin and eyes.

I and my cousine carry albinism gene and neither of us have albinism,is it possible to change one of our gene or is there a way that we can born a healthy baby?

Not exactly sure I understand. You seem to carry Aa, so if you have a baby dude person with someone who is not related to albinos, your children will not have it. However, your baby dude people will have a 1 in 4 chance each that they will have the same traits that you do.

ya i know what u say but we love each other and we want to marry.i heard that there is a way to replace defective gene with healthy gene.is it true?
