Piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development. Common characteristics include a congenital white forelock, scattered scattered normal pigmented and hyperpigmented macules and a triangular shaped depigmented patch on the forehead.
Although piebaldism can be classed as partial albinism the vision problems associated with albinism are not usually present as eye pigmentation is normal.
