SKIN COLOR
Determined by:
- Melanin
- Haemoglobin
- Ccarotenoids
Melanin - major determinant:
Melanin is synthesized by melanocytes within
melanosomes and transferred to keratinocytes
> Constitutive skin colour - genetically determined
> Facultative skin colour - induced by sun and hormones
AN OVERVIEW
Skin pigmentation has far-reaching social and
psychological implications
White people strive for tanning which while brown and
black people strive for a lighter skin
Melanin pigmentation disorders are important for
medical and cosmetic reasons
Tyrosine – tyrosinase –melanin- this occurs in the
melanosomes of melanocytes
Then the melanosomes are transferred from the
melanocyte to a group of keratinocytes called the
epidermal melanin unit
Variations in skin color is related to the number of
melanosomes, the degree of melanization, and the
distribution of the epidermal melanin unit

Chediak-Higashi
• Chédiak-Higashi syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive
• primary immunodeficiency disorder that involves
phagocytic cell defects
• The syndrome is caused by a mutation in the LYST
(lysosomal trafficking regulator; CHS1) gene.
• Giant lysosomal granules develop in neutrophils and
other cells (eg, melanocytes, neural Schwann cells).
• The abnormal lysosomes cannot fuse with phagosomes,
so ingested bacteria cannot be lysed normally.
• Clinical findings of Chédiak-Higashi syndrome include
oculocutaneous albinism and susceptibility to
recurrent respiratory and other infections.
• In about 80% of patients, an accelerated phase occurs,
causing fever, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly,
lymphadenopathy, pancytopenia, bleeding diathesis,
and neurologic changes. Once the accelerated phase
occurs, the syndrome is usually fatal within 30 months
• Diagnosis is by genetic testing

Hemansky Pudlack syndrome
In 1959, Hermansky and Pudlak described two patients with
oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) who had bleeding diathesis.
Both patients had pulmonary disease.
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a heterogeneous group
of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by tyrosinase-
positive oculocutaneous albinism (Ty-pos OCA),
bleeding tendencies, and systemic complications associated to
lysosomal dysfunction. Individuals with HPS may have
pulmonary fibrosis and granuloumatos colitis

PKU
• Untreated PKU can lead to intellectual disability,
seizures, and other serious medical problems.
• Patients who are diagnosed early and maintain a
strict diet can have a normal life span with normal
mental development.
• PKU is rare – it is estimated to affect 1 in every
10,000 babies
