in albinism we have loss of tyrosinase activity NOT absence of melanocytes, right?

  #4

that may be true but i thought it may indirectly be related to absence of melanocytes?

please someone explain this Q!
it's not albinism BECAUSE melanocytes are right there and neural crest cells HAVE migrated!!

  #8

This is one tough and unfair q mad

  #9

Although one can think that albinism links to melanocytes and then to neural crest cells, we know that albinism is a defect in tyrosinase and that has nothing to do with a defect in migration of neural crest cellsnod
But...there is some syndrome called ABCD syndrome: an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by albinism, black lock, cell migration disorder of the neurocytes of the gut (Hirschsprung disease), and deafness. And this is caused by a migration defect.
I found this info on http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?i...
I still think is an unfair Q. shaking head

A) Albinism

Kaplan, development of the fetal structures from the three germ layers. pg 105

Neural Crest Derivatives: NC migrate throughout the embryo and give rise to many different cells
  • Ganglia
  • Cranial, dorsal root, sympathetic trunk
  • Celiac, renal, plexus in GIT
  • Glia, schwann cells
  • Melanocytes (skin)
  • Adrenal medulla (chromaffin cells)
