Alexandria's Genesis - Fact or fiction?

Update 12/8/2013: I had no idea that my random musings would gain so much attention. I know Alexandira's Genesis is scarcely written about, but I still found the response to be surprising. This post does not focus on the entire myth of Alexandria's Genesis, but more on the usage of the term being applied to people with pale skin, purple eyes, and dark hair. In no way, shape, or form, do I believe that a woman who does not have a period, but is still fertile, could possibly exist (this is one of the many symptoms described to exist in people who have the real Alexandria's Genesis, which isn't real at all, it's science fiction). They would be like the virgin Mary. However, people with pale skin, purple eyes, and dark hair do exist, and many people say they have "Alexandria's Genesis". This blog post is not meant to prove that Alexandria's Genesis is real or that it does exist, but that people who look like such fables, do.

I first discovered Alexandria's Genesis randomly a few years ago, for some reason I get the feeling it was while I was randomly browsing Wikipedia, which I sometimes like to do. But anyways, Alexandria's Genesis is supposedly a genetic condition where the person has dark hair, "fair" skin (meaning rather pale and of good complexion), and interesting purple to grey eyes. Many people speculate that there is no such thing as this, since the term itself came from a Science Fiction book, yet they didn't have any other answer for how these eyes came to be, or what the proper term for it is, so everyone, including me, were left to wonder. What is this?

Well, I think I finally found the answer! Albinism! Though it's not full-blown albinism, if it was the person would be white as white can be, with blue eyes, and white hair. It's a certain kind of albinism, ocular albinism. I stumbled upon this while again, browsing wikipedia and trying to scrounge up more theories on the merle gene in dogs (which I'll blog about another time). It's quite interesting. The persons' eyes are generally lighter and can even look like albino eyes (blue but a certain unique shade of blue), but it just affects the eyes.

However, for Elizabeth Taylor, this would not be the case, since those with ocular albinism usually have their hair and skin affected equally, while Taylor has no effect on her hair and some effect to her skin and eyes. For her, it would be oculocutaneous albinism. Oculocutaneous albinism, affects the eyes and skin, but rarely the hair and it is possible for the hair to be dark, though that too is rather rare (usually it is a reddish pigment). More specifically, for miss Taylor, it would be OCA2, which does just that. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an accurate picture for it, though the one above would work since they have hair and skin pigment.

But hey, Alexandria's Genesis sounds a heck of a lot cooler than oculocutaneous albinism OCA2, so why not keep the term?
