The Tryptophan-Serotonin Axis in Albinism: an interesting lead?
Résumé
Serotonin and other tryptophan-derived metabolites are altered in patients with albinism, with a distinct shift toward the serotonin pathway and impaired serotonin degradation. These metabolic disturbances suggest a potential link between tryptophan metabolism and pigmentation defects. Tryptophan profiling may offer novel diagnostic or therapeutic avenues for albinism.
