(JOEL FRIEDMAN/Daily) Touring exhibit aims to break stigma surrounding genetic conditions with art By Wendy Lee, For the Daily April 01, 2005 In an era when the possibility of eliminating certain conditions through genetic engineering is rapidly nearing, a photographer and an epidemiologist hope to use a traveling art exhibit to help people see genetic conditions as a contribution to diversity rather than a disease. Troubled by this disparity, Guidotti said he became determined to portray those with albinism and other genetic conditions in a positive light and, as a result, bridged the unlikely couple of arts and genetics to form Positive Exposure. Diane McLean, an epidemiologist and co-director of Positive Exposure, joined Guidotti in 1998 after seeing his photographs in Life Magazine. Because the subjects had never been given the opportunity to define themselves on their own terms, she suggested to Guidotti that he add their words and stories to the photographs. Guidotti agreed and asked McLean to join the project and interview the subjects he was photographing.

What about Albino? Albino is a term that many people find confusing. Some think it is a synonym for white, and refer to any dogs that are white with some color as "part albino" (which isn't possible). Others know that albino animals are white with pink eyes, which is true, but not the whole story. A pure white animal, with pale pink skin and pink eyes, is an albino (technically known as tyrosinase G -negative). This is a recessive gene (genetic notation is "c"), so a dog would need two copies for it to show. These animals have no color whatsoever, not even skin spots. This genetic pattern is not thought to exist in dogs, and would be likely to cause deafness (since there is no pigment G at all). One step up is a genetic pattern sometimes seen in cats. This is a pure white animal (again, no pigment of any type anywhere b ). It probably does not exist in dogs either (there are other genetic factors at work in a mostly white dog with blue eyes).
