Griscelli syndrome type 2 (also known as "partial albinism with immunodeficiency") is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by variable cutenous albinism, silver colored metallic looking hair, frequent bacterial or viral infections, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia.
[1]: 866 All types of Griscelli syndrome have distinctive skin and hair coloring.
These include delayed development, intellectual disability, seizures, hypotonia and eye abnormalities.
This latter condition may be fatal in the absence of bone marrow transplantation.
Persons with type 3 have the typical light skin and hair coloring but are otherwise normal.
