    Glossary Piebaldism

    genetic condition causing white patches of skin and hair

    Piebaldism is a rare genetic condition characterized by the absence of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment in the skin and hair. This results in patches of unpigmented (white) skin and hair, often noticeable from birth, and is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
